Whiteboard Features

The Instructor and Presenter can use a Whiteboard in Meetings (and students, if allowed).
On the Whiteboard tool bar, at top, select a tool to click on and draw with, such as:

  • First tool: Select a T (text), a line, shapes (circle, triangle, rectangle), and a pencil (freehand drawing)
  • Second tool: For shapes, you can pick a thickness; for text, choose a font size
  • Third tool: Click on the color box to pick a drawing color
  • Fourth tool: Click on the backward arrow to undo your last action
  • Fifth tool: Click on the trashcan to clear the whiteboard
  • Last tool: The Instructor/Presenter can click on the bottom whiteboard icon, "Multi-User Whiteboard" icon, to allow ALL participants to draw on the whiteboard.
    • You can draw on the default presentation page, an uploaded document, or you can upload a blank document.
    • To draw perfect shapes (rectangle, circle, triangle), click and hold the Ctrl or Shift key on your keyboard, then click and draw your shape.

Alt=Whiteboard with the word "Pencil" written on it, plus a drawn square, circle, triangle, underline, and typed text, all added with whiteboard icons

I need a blank page to draw on!
  • "Upload" and display the default presentation, as it contains blank slides:
    • Click on the Actions button (a plus sign), click on "Upload a Presentation", then to the right of default.pdf, click on the circle button to display a blank page
    • At the bottom middle of the presentation area, click on the next arrow, to get to a blank slide to use with the Whiteboard.
    • The default presentation (default.pdf) contains 4 blank slides.
