Tutor Whiteboard

WB tab on the upper right corner showing another student. It is widely accepted industry
standard to greet the extra student quickly. To use our system, your speaker volume must be up
on your computer at all times. You can also create multiple boards for the same student (click
on New Board as shown above), as well as stretch the board horizontally and vertically (just
type something at the bottom of the whiteboard until the whiteboard expands).

Web Links

Explorer and have a pop-up blocker. Students can also copy/paste the link instead of clicking
the link.
