<b>What is Whiteboard?</b> 
:Whiteboard provides a virtual environment for students and consultants to work together in tutoring, writing, or advising scenarios. Whiteboard provides a simple virtual environment, or room, for your consultants to work with students. If you are starting an online advising or tutoring program, Whiteboard may give you all the tools you need for consultants and students to work out mathematical graphs and equations, review a paper, or share documents.

<b>How do I set up Whiteboard?</b>
:As an owner of the whiteboard module, you will be able to schedule a time to meet with a single student or a group of students through the Whiteboard module. When you create an availability in TracCloud you will be able to determine if the availability is Online or in-person. If the ability is set to “Online” you will then be able to determine the meeting Location, whether it be Zoom or WebEx or in this case Whiteboard. 

step 1 - setup availabilities

At the time of the scheduled Whiteboard appointment, both the student and the Consultant will be able to click on the online meeting link from their home Dashboard under the Upcoming Appointment area. This link highlighted below in the screen shot will appear 30 minutes prior to the start of the appointment by default. However, there is a setting that can be managed which will allow you to adjust the number of minutes before the appointment start time to determine when the online link displays on the dashboard. (See Scheduling-> Time Restrictions)

step 2 - entering the room as a consultant

step 3 - entering the room as a student

After joining the Whiteboard session, you'll be taken to a screen that looks something like this. This is where we can upload our document

On the left-side of the screen, we have the <b>Live Document</b> editor. This screenshot shows the student editing their document, once they're finished, the student clicks "Save Document" and "Stop Editing" to pass that document over to the tutor for further assistance.

In addition to the expected text editor options, we also have a few additional tools such as as an Equation Editor and Proofreading Marks.

On the right-side of the screen, we have our <b>Text Chat</b>. We can of course send simple messages here as expected, but we also have other options available with the icons on the left-side of the text entry field. The Pencil icon provides a drawing board, letting us draw something out if needed. We also have a rich text editor available through the ellipses icon, even including the same Equation Editor from the full document view.
