What Is An Online Whiteboard?

An online whiteboard, also known as a digital  whiteboard, is a software application or web-based tool that allows users to write, draw, and collaborate in real-time over the internet. It simulates the experience of using a physical whiteboard but offers additional features and capabilities.

Here are some key aspects of online whiteboards:

1. Real-time Collaboration: Multiple users can work together on the same whiteboard simultaneously from different locations.

2. Drawing and Writing Tools: Users can use a variety of tools for drawing, writing, and annotating, often including different pen types, colors, and brush sizes.

3. Integration Capabilities: Many online whiteboards integrate with other tools and platforms like video conferencing software, document editors, and project management systems.

4. Saving and Sharing: Work done on an online whiteboard can typically be saved, shared, or exported as an image or document file.

5. Accessibility: Online whiteboards can be accessed via web browsers or dedicated applications on various devices, such as computers, tablets, and smartphones.

These tools are widely used in educational settings for remote teaching and learning, as well as in business environments for brainstorming sessions, presentations, and team collaboration.
