Objectives:
Using an interactive whiteboard is a great way to increase engagement in an online synchronous class. While Zoom includes its own whiteboard and annotation tools, Office 365 and G Suite offer two interactive and sharable whiteboarding applications that can be used synchronously or asynchronously via the web.
Please Note: This page only covers the browser-based versions of these tools. Microsoft Whiteboard's downloadable Windows 10 and mobile app versions offer far more features than the browser-based version. For more information about the Windows 10 and mobile versions of Whiteboard, see Microsoft’s Whiteboard Help page. Jamboard's mobile app includes handwriting, shape, and drawing recognition in addition to the tools listed below.
With the introduction of G-suite for education alongside the existing Office 365 collaboration tools, it can be difficult to determine which tools may best suit your needs. In this session, we will compare tools available in G-suite and Office 365 for productivity, storage, and collaboration. In addition, we will work through several use cases to determine which tool(s) might be best to use for your unique needs.
