Abstract— On 2008, Johnny Chung Lee from Carniege Mellon University introduced a technology that uses Wii Remote called Low-cost Interactive Whiteboard (LCIW). During its study of usage in Universitas Multimedia Nusantara (UMN), it is found that one of LCIW weakness is the stability of the technology when it is moved from one place to another. S.N. Cheong has developed a variation of Wii Remote implementation by designing it as a desk. Study designed and developed a table as a teaching station that can be used to assist teaching in the class in the hope to increase teaching experience. Combining the design of the teaching station with previous developed software and hardware used for the implementation of LCIW, UMN starts to develop Interactive Desk Screen (IDS) and study its usage. The study shows that IDS have a positive responds from teachers and students based on the parameter of Student Engagement, Student Behavior, Student Learning, Responding on Teacher/Student Use and Student/Teacher Satisfaction.
