The collaborative whiteboard is a technology that’s been gaining some attention in distance teaching. In Zoom, teachers and students can collaborate– after a fashion– in real time, by simultaneously writing/drawing/typing on a document or whiteboard.
(Each participant is essentially annotating their own layer– they can’t alter what another participant has done. For that level of collaboration, you might consider using Google Jamboard.®)
These settings should be enabled in your Zoom profile:
- Screen sharing
- Who can share? [All participants]
- Annotation
- Allow saving of shared screens with annotations
- Whiteboard
- Allow saving of whiteboard content
