- Express creativity using different colored pen options.
- Instructors: Create assignments, share with students, and view their whiteboard responses.
- Create unique assignments composed of text-based questions.
- Deploy to students by provided an assignment ID.
- View all responses in an instructor view that can be shared with others.
- User authentication : Users will soon be able to create accounts to store their assignments and submissions under their name. This also paves the way for room chat (see below)
- LaTeX support: Instructors will be able to create math questions using the popular LaTeX syntax, allowing students to answer math questions in free-form drawing
- Chat : Students will be able to discuss their whiteboard collaboration via an in-room text chat
