| | Style 3b - Slides only style
Lecturers who will be presenting
powerpoint slides can use the whiteboard to add annotations during the presentation. This is suggestively
useful as the interaction with the slides can make the session more
interactive (especially for answering questions). The presenter is able to use the mimio device on the whiteboard (with the presentation overlayed) and make annotations directly into powerpoint. This will be slower due to the fullscreen polling of the VNC server.
