Abstract

This paper describes the concepts used to design a computer-aided lecturing software package and presents its functionalities. It does not present another authoring system used to create didactic materials, but rather a set of tools to increase the efficiency of the professor. This software package, called EOP (Editor-Outliner-Projector), allows professors to effectively structure concepts found in lectures and draw their associated transparencies. In classrooms equipped with a personal computer and a projection system, EOP allows professors to present topics, explain difficulties, emphasize details, and illustrate contents of lessons. This software package has been in use for five years in different course topics
