2.1.4 Presenter User Interface Overview

When the presenter has finished logging in and initially invokes the EClass, the screen appears as shown in Figure 1. The presenter can now either choose either a pre-made presentation or to make a new one. Both options are shown in detail in preparing a presentation, and choosing a presentation.

Once the presenter either chosen or made a new presentation, the first slide will open in the whiteboard as shown in Figure 2. Along with the updated whiteboard with content, the UI also shows ways of navigating including a cover flow, directional arrows, and a slide number selector.

For each slide, the presenter also has access to the layer manager that he/she may use to create, manage, and accept layers. As shown below in Figure 3, the presenter clicks on View › Show Layer Manager, and the Layer Manager window pops up. Here, the presenter can create dynamic and interactive lecture content. It allows students to submit full layers to teachers, as well as having multiple students draw on a specific layer at one time.
