Turn a smartphone into a classroom document camera

The IPEVO Uplift Multi-Angle Arm for Smartphones holds a phone steady above the desk so it can act as a document camera or webcam. Teachers and SENCOs can use it to show books, worksheets and pupils' work on the board without buying a dedicated visualiser. Clear, enlarged text helps dyslexic learners who struggle with small print or copying from the board.

How it helps

The multi-jointed aluminium alloy arm makes it easy to adjust the angle and distance of the shot, and it stays in position if touched so the image remains steady. A rotating head switches the phone between portrait and landscape, and the metal base gives high stability with a small footprint. Paired with the IPEVO iDocCam app and IPEVO Visualizer software on a computer or tablet, the Uplift can be set up as a wireless document camera.

• A low-cost way to add visualiser-style teaching to classrooms, intervention rooms and SEN bases.
• Fits smartphones 70 to 98 mm wide and up to 300 g.
• Turns quickly between showing work on the desk and showing the teacher for video calls or recordings.
• Steady image for presentations, remote teaching and recorded lessons.

Supporting dyslexic learners

Dyslexic pupils often find tracking small text, copying from the board and holding instructions in mind tiring. With a phone held on the Uplift, a teacher can enlarge the exact page pupils are reading and point to each line as the class reads together. Modelling tasks on screen breaks them into clear steps, which reduces the load on working memory.

Why visualisers support inclusive teaching

Enlarging print, live modelling and sharing pupils' work are well-established visualiser techniques. They fit Quality First Teaching and the graduated approach in the SEND Code of Practice, and they reflect the dyslexia-friendly principles promoted by the British Dyslexia Association, such as presenting text clearly and at a comfortable size.
