Whiteboard

A shared board in every live class. The tutor draws, everyone follows along live.

The tutor writes, draws and builds diagrams, and can let students draw too, or give each student their own board.

Step by step

From a blank board to a saved lesson

Part 1 of 5

Open the board

  1. 1

    The tutor opens the whiteboard in the live room. Students' screens follow the tutor's view automatically.

Part 2 of 5

Teach with every tool

  1. 2

    The tutor teaches with pen, highlighter, shapes, equations, code blocks, charts, sticky notes and more.

Part 3 of 5

Bring in material

  1. 3

    The tutor drops in images or imports a PDF (up to 5 pages), or scans a QR code with their phone to send photos of handwritten work straight to the board.

Part 4 of 5

The students' turn

  1. 4

    The tutor unlocks the board so students can draw too, or gives each student an individual board.

    A student who scrolls away can press Follow tutor to jump back to what the tutor is showing.

Control

Students watch until invited

The board is read-only for students by default, which keeps the tutor’s explanation clean. When the tutor unlocks it, everyone can draw. When it’s locked again, any student changes are ignored.

Images from anywhere

Only the tutor or admin adds images: PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF, up to 15 MB each. The phone drop uses a short-lived QR code, so only the tutor’s own phone can send to that class’s board.

Live and fast

Changes travel directly between participants over the same live connection as the video, so drawing appears for everyone almost instantly without a separate server.

Saving

The board lives on after class

Anyone in the class can load the saved board, but only the tutor can save it. Save recap stores the board together with the class transcript, which feeds the AI class summary.
