Extended View
Extended View (formerly Dual Presentation) is the best way to maximize the computing real estate in any lecture hall equipped with two multimedia projectors. Enable this feature on the touch panel's quick start menu. Log in to the computer and double-click the icon on the desktop for two displays. You are ready to show any combination of materials you desire. You can even open two Powerpoint Slideshows and run them side by side. The illustrations below depict the various ways in which you can utilize this technology during your class.

Since we began implementing this solution over a year ago, we have been searching for a better way to remotely advance two Powerpoint presentations.
Fortunately, the new gyromouse from Gyration was released with programmable buttons and swipes. With some scripting, we were able to make the in-the-air mouse perform functions similar to the old slide remotes. The illustration below depicts the various slide functions of the mouse. That same gyromouse will perform all the normal mouse functions in addition to those shown here.
During this endeavor, we decided to apply what we learned about Extended View to the concept of a Presenter View. This is a phrase used by Powerpoint to describe the view in which an instructor's notes are seen on one display, while his or her presentation alone is seen on another display. While Extended View is available only on a two-projector system, Presentation View can be done in any classroom with a projector and a monitor. We have not had a chance to upgrade all of our systems with this feature, but will get to them soon. If your classroom does not have it, just ask for it.
