Workbook is whiteboarding software

Workbook is whiteboarding software, used with any interactive whiteboard or display, or just on a computer.

If you’ve used whiteboards much, then you already know what’s essential to whiteboarding: easy access that anyone can use; plenty of room to express any idea; simple and intuitive tools. Workbook whiteboarding software combines the simplicity and ease of use we all love from whiteboards, with the productivity benefits of your computer.

Just like your conventional whiteboard, you can use pens to write in ink… only now you’re writing in digital ink, and its being stored in your computer.    You’ll set up your favourite pens (they never run out of ink!) and your favourite tools. Workbook’s page extender and page sorter means you’ll never run out of whiteboard space.   Everything is instantly scaled, rotated, moved on the page or between pages.   That’s where it all starts….

With Workbook, you’ll be putting shapes, text and images onto your whiteboard in no time at all.   Flowcharts, mindmaps and concept diagrams become “formalised” in a few seconds.  Add links and sounds to objects on your whiteboard page to integrate process maps.  Start videos on the whiteboard page at the touch of a button; play live camera or web feeds to keep your workgroup up to the minute.  Look further and you’ll also find the usual interactive whiteboarding features: spotlight, magnifier, full screen views, screen capture, screen annotate, cropping, transparency eyedropper, format painter etc.

What makes Workbook whiteboarding software so much better?

Here’s how Workbook’s different, and so much smarter than the others:

First of all, Workbook is interoperable with other whiteboarding software tools. Workbook opens SMART Notebook files natively, allowing you to edit and save content from these. So – if you’re looking for smartboard software (but not necessarily for use only with a smartboard) then you need look no further!  Similarly, the “.iwb” file extension is also supported so you can access resources created by educators using other interactive whiteboard manufacturers.

Secondly: Your Freedom of Choice matters to us, so you are welcome to use Workbook with any computer and any interactive display, iwb or other interactive device.  Our philosophy is that we want you to be able to choose your preferred software for use with whatever interactive devices you like.

Helping you to take full advantage of benefits (1) and (2) above, searching for, finding and sharing Workbook files is made really easy through your free membership in the Xorro-ED Community.

Thirdly: Workbook is highly customisable. We know that every teaching situation is different, so why expect the Maths teachers to use the same tools as language teachers? Workbook provides a lot of tools, but far more important is your ease of customising Workbook so your toolbars show only the tools you need and use. Your custom toolbars can also provide one-click links to folders anywhere on your network, so you can instantly find and drag text, image and media resources to your Workbook canvas just when you need to.

Avoid the clutter!
