Interactive whiteboard
not planned

It would be good if there was an interactive whiteboard feature for presentations to allow instructors to:
- annotate
- draw
- create
- highlight
- zoom
on different areas of a slide as well as having a blank slide to create new content on the fly.
This would allow the instructor to work out of the one environment instead of having to jump between their ALP presentation and a 3rd party piece of technology.
This would assist not only the students who attend the class when they are reviewing the capture but also the virtual students who may not be able to see whiteboard and blackboards in the classroom due to technology setup

We saw the post below that this was going to be a release for Q4 this year, however, when we log into Canny, we cannot see time stamps of comments and when a post was created so just a follow up and being a voice for our faculty. They would really like to see an interactive whiteboard. Thanks!

Thank you so much for your feedback! We are excited to share that this feature is coming and is currently planned as a part of our Q4 release for this year.

This is a feature that is holding back full adoption of Echo360 for many (20+, admittedly out of 1000) of my colleagues.

Similar to the interactive whiteboard for staff (which is being worked on as we speak) there should be a similar function for students that would allow the following:
Students can:
- Annotate or draw on presentation slides for personal reference (possible screenshot as image and saved to their library)
- open one or multiple blank whiteboards that they can annotate/draw on during class (additional interface widget like notes, bookmarks etc)
- as an activity, submit whiteboard work to the instructor (ie a maths student can draw an equation and submit for marking or collaboration, a design student can illustrate and idea and submit for marking or collaboration)
Instructors can:
- NOT see a students personal whiteboards or annotations
- See a list of submitted collaboration (not assessable) whiteboard or annotation works from students in class.
- The instructor can privately (not sure how if they are presenting using ALP maybe same mechanism used for hiding answers in activities until ready) view the work then show it to the class via the instructor presentation interface to the class - hence ACTIVE LEARNING
- See a list of submitted assessable whiteboard work in their instructor admin panel.
