  Developments in information and communication technologies have been greatly
influential on the practices in all fields, and education is not an exception
to this. To illustrate with, computers were first used in computer assisted
education in order to increase the efficiency of teaching process. Recently,
computer has contributed more to the field through interactive and smart class
applications that are specially designed for classroom use. The aim of this
study is to develop a low cost, portable and projection supported touchscreen
to be used in educational environments by using FPGA technology and to test its
usability. For the purposes of the study, the above mentioned system was
developed by using the necessary hardware and software, and later it was tested
in terms of usability. This usability test was administered to teachers, who
were the target end users of this touchscreen writing / drawing system. The aim
of this test was to determine user friendliness, subservientness and usability
of the system. Several tools were used to obtain data from the users that
participated in the study. The analysis and evaluation of the data collected
revealed that the system has achieved its objectives successfully.
