Whiteboard / Collaboration
Collaboration for teaching
Run one-to-one tutoring, small groups, or whole-class sessions on the same Whiteboard — with tiered realtime editing, lock, private notes, and capacity that matches the room.
Same board. Right-sized collaboration.
What collaboration is on the Whiteboard
Collaboration means other people can be in the board with you — viewing, or drawing together in realtime — within the limits of your plan. There is no separate “1:1 product mode”: the same board scales from tutoring pairs to whole-class groups by capacity and how you run the session.
That matters because online teaching, face-to-face projection, and one-to-one tutoring all need the same reliable surface — with clear rules for who can edit, when the board is locked, and when notes stay private.
Why teachers collaborate this way
One-to-one tutoring
Two editors on a shared page — talk, draw, and correct without a second platform.
Small groups
Standard capacity supports a working group that can ink and rearrange together.
Whole-class online
Share the board, broadcast a clean view, and keep edit rights intentional.
In the room
Project the board; use private notes for teacher-only scribbles; invite tablets when useful.
Collaboration is about who is in the room and what they can do. Share links and embeds are a separate path for distributing access.
Inside collaboration by plan

- Editor capacity — Standard 20 / Quest 50 / Academy 150 (tier caps)

How a collaborative session starts
Create or open the board
Pick a layout that matches tutoring, group work, or whole-class delivery.
Invite with a share path your plan allows
View-only on Free; realtime editors on Standard+ within capacity.
Teach with lock, pages, and classroom tools
Lock when you present; unlock when learners should build; use pages to pace the room.
Teaching patterns on one board
| Pattern | How to run it |
|---|---|
| Digital 1:1 | Two editors; focused pages; optional private notes for teacher prep |
| Online whole class | Share link + broadcast into Meet/Zoom; Q&A and timer for pace |
| Face-to-face | Fullscreen or projector; Link Screen for a second display; tablets as optional editors |
| Station rotation | Assign or hide pages (Quest+) so groups meet the right beat at the right time |
