Surely you give them a copy of the llama as well?
In our case, we have course notes of about 50 A4 pages/day, which have
all the non-digression material in them. Sometimes people make notes in
the margins, but I don't find many people slaving to copy down huge
wodges of stuff as we talk or scribble on the whiteboard.
Our whiteboard is usually more for demonstration purposes rather than
actually writing material as such. For instance, for regexps you can
write up the regexp on the board them scrub bits out and modify it as
they go "no, hang on, it needs to have a word boundary" or whatever.
For CGI, you can use it to draw big diagrams of the interaction between
the user agent and the server, etc. But the notes themselves contain
all the "core" material.
