myViewBoard Ecosystem
myViewBoard is an ecosystem promoting collaborative education and work. Users can create their own digital whiteboard, present and attend classes, and share content across devices and platforms.
Our ecosystem is designed to be accessible. That means no great technological expertise is required, and no specific device or operating system. Many of our applications can be run directly from a web browser, and participating in classes does not require students to create an account. However, to access the full suite of features such as Cloud Integration and settings that wirelessly follow the user across devices, it is necessary to create a free myViewBoard account. All data is encrypted and is not accessible by anyone other than the user themselves - full details can be found here.
myViewBoard.com
myViewBoard.com contains applications and services within the myViewBoard Visual Learning Platform, such as myViewBoard Classroom and Whiteboard. These applications can be run within a suitable browser. As well, myviewboard.com also contains links to download dedicated Windows and Android apps.
You can also use myviewboard.com to interact with Classroom and Whiteboard sessions, using features such as Throw and screen sharing.
The standard account is free and includes Whiteboard, myViewBoard Originals, and more. However, some features such as user and device management tools (Entity Management and Manager) are only available for myViewBoard Entity. To review all the differences between the available myViewBoard tiers, see the Pricing.

Classroom
Classroom is an online and fully browser-based platform for delivering lessons. It is designed to be easy to learn and to reflect a traditional physical classroom. There is no software to install and students do not need to create an account. There is also built-in support for Google Classroom, to easily invite students, and cloud integration, to easily share lesson materials.
Classroom works in two browser tabs/windows, with the initial tab displaying the digital whiteboard canvas, where teachers can import and edit lesson content. The second tab provides a dashboard for student management, with controls for chat and group (huddle) work and notices relating to student attention or students raising their hands. As such, two screens are recommended.
To get started, check system requirements and how to create a myViewBoard account.
Please note, myViewBoard Classroom is available to Premium and Entity user accounts only.
When opening Classroom, teachers are presented with a blank canvas.
