What is “whiteboarding”? 

Whiteboarders know the power of a large, free-to-use shared surface on which you can draw ideas, makes lists, stick up post-its or notes, and generally organise and communicate concepts visually.  Each page in your Workbook file is like a giant, never ending whiteboard, on which you can create and position ink, text, lines, shapes, images, videos, web pages, video streams.... etc.  You can manipulate these instantly and easily using touch and gestures on an interactive display, or just the mouse on your computer. 

Each page is unlimited.... But you can also have multiple pages: as many as you want.  The Workbook file pulls all of these pages together into a single sharable resource which you can save, export, share, and open again for future editing, at any time.
