Wow - when reading your title I thought it meant "where to physically lean on the board." In this regard, greenboards are far superior. Leaning on a whiteboard with transfer the dry erase marker to your shirt - permanently. Chalk can be washed out....

Seriously, though - we went to all white boards a few years back. Not that I am used to them I think I actually prefer them.

P.S. Great Pavlovian conditioning demo: Rake your fingernails across a white board - the students will still cringe as if it were a chalkboard.

Hi Everyone,

I am seeking your opinions, but mostly your experience and knowledge of
research around the usage of greenboards (blackboards) vs whiteboards.

My VP Academic has asked me to prepare a proposal to replace all
existing blackboards with whiteboards and I would like to include data
in that document. I would also like to know what other institutions have
done around this issue.

All I can say here is that already, I am looking at very strong opinions
on the part of faculty (who all seem to lean towards the greenboards).

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Jean-Marc
