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.
"IDroo - Online educational multiuser whiteboard. FREE for non-commercial use. Collaborative meetings with many participants (10 or even more). Insert simple and complex mathematical equations. Draw and write your ideas. Express your mind through images. Take advantage of high quality calls over Skype. All drawings are easily editable vector graphics. Works with Wacom Bamboo, Wacom Intuos and other digital tablets"
"The Teq Educator Resource Center contains interactive whiteboard lessons, resources, and mixed reality 3D content. Download subject-specific SMART Notebook, ActivInspire, Mimio, and RM Easiteach lessons."
I think this kind of tool can be really beneficial for creating flipped learning or video orientated learning as the speaker can guide learners to various learning resources on the web. They can also embed visual support for language learners such as text and images and even write over the video as though it were a whiteboard.
