Whiteboard is a drawing tool that designers, students, and teaching assistants can use during an online discussion. This tool allows users to enter text, draw objects, insert graphics, and make modifications — especially useful for drawing and viewing diagrams in real-time. Note: In compliance with the US Rehabilitation Act, Section 508, WebCT provides an accessible interface for Whiteboard.

You must add Whiteboard to your course before you and your students can use it. For instructions on adding this tool to your course, see Add Page or Tool.

Whiteboard allows you to do the following:

• enter and modify text
• draw and modify objects
• move text and objects
• delete text and objects
• change background color of the drawing area
• upload images from your computer
• import images from your My-Files folder
• save and load screen content

To view a description of the Whiteboard tools, rest your mouse on the tool icon. The description will be displayed in the Information box on the lower right of the Whiteboard screen.
