Show your thinking on the whiteboard

Use the whiteboard to sketch a diagram or show your working. Open Tools → Whiteboard. A board belongs to a tutor session.

Select a recent tutor session from the list. If the page says No tutor sessions found, start a session in Tutor, then return to Whiteboard using the same account.

Whiteboard explains that a recent tutor session is required before drawing

If the list is still empty after you have started a session, reload once and report the problem. During this local documentation recording, that list remained empty despite existing sessions, so a complete drawing video is not available yet.

Once a session opens, choose Pen and sketch one idea at a time. Use another color to separate parts of a diagram. The toolbar also provides Eraser, Line, Rectangle, Circle, Undo, Redo, and Download PNG.

Keep space for labels and explain what the lines mean. For fractions, draw the same-size whole before comparing pieces. Download a PNG when you need a separate copy.

Drawings are saved automatically. Check the save status, then reopen the same session to confirm your work is present. If a drawing disappears, confirm that you selected the same session and account before trying again.

Next: Attach work to a lesson.
