Using Scribblar, users can collaborate on their own online whiteboard or "room" - featuring many of the tools familiar to users of Smart or Promethean boards - lines, text, shapes etc. You can upload your own images where you and others can edit it or comment on it. In addition to the whiteboard - there is a chat box to communicate with other users, and there is also a voice chat option as well.
