Dear Donna
I have been trying to track down a paper I have read. I am afraid I can’t remember the author but I do remember that the paper suggested that writing on a board (blackboard or white board) is really helpful for students as they can see the ideas unfold in real time rather than presenting a complete and sanitised version. This is particularly the case in disciplines like mathematics and physics where it is really helpful for the teacher to work through a problem, talking through it as they go and students can follow step by step. There may be something in the physics or mathematics education literature.
Sorry I can’t be more help
Best wishes
Anna

Subject: Writing on the blackboard instead of PPT
Dear All,
More of our teachers, from different faculties, are moving away from PPT, or blending it with writing on the blackboard during class. Student feedback on the blended approach is generally positive but there’s some dissatisfaction with total replacement of PPT slides. I have been asked if there is research out there on the impact of this approach on student learning.
If you have come across or been involved with any research on how reducing or replacing PPT slides with writing on the blackboard during teaching sessions influences learning and/or student engagement I’d really appreciate the references.
I will gladly collate and circulate the references.
Many thanks
All the best, Donna
