March 9, 2021 – Sidd Iyer is the founder of https://oneboard.live, an interactive whiteboard website for teachers, tutors, and remote teams. Oneboard has an online whiteboard with an infinite canvas that is perfect for visual distance teaching. Users can draw, write text, insert images, and upload all types of content. These tools make collaborating, sharing, and online teaching easy on oneboard’s web whiteboard.
Iyer invented the oneboard whiteboard to improve the online classroom experience for students across the globe. As a free digital whiteboard web app, oneboard’s goal is to help students from any socioeconomic background learn by connecting with online teachers instantly. Oneboard makes it easy for students to join a teacher’s whiteboard and collaborate from any device by simply entering a 5-digit code. This makes digital teaching and interaction more personal and effective for the students and teachers. (learn more at https://oneboard.live/about/teachers)
Oneboard’s mission is to bring back the focus and participation that students used to experience in our physical classrooms. Inviting others to the touch-friendly whiteboard is easy with oneboard’s numerous sharing options. Finding other students, peers, and teachers is just as easy with oneboard’s dedicated drive and user search features. Oneboard’s drive automatically organizes whiteboards, shows users their recently viewed whiteboards, and allows the sharing of whiteboards with other users.
Teachers currently rely on platforms such as Google Jamboard, AWWapp, and Microsoft OneNote. Yet, these online whiteboards don’t encourage users to collaborate in true real time. Instead, teachers use these apps to screen-share themselves drawing on the virtual whiteboard while video conferencing. Students are left to copy down notes and view the lecture instead of engaging with the material. On oneboard whiteboard, students can focus their attention on annotating and modeling concepts, without worrying about copying down notes.

Oneboard has a lesson recording feature that allows users to rewatch their past sessions. Users can jump back into any past board recording and annotate on over their revision history as if it was occurring real-time. Oneboard sessions turns any lesson into an interactive recording that is replayable at any time. This feature allows students who could not attend a lecture to rewatch it in entirety and learn just as effectively.
Oneboard’s goal is to help visual learners (65% of students) stay engaged and retentive. According to Forbes magazine, the key to effective learning lies in the acronym AGES. This stands for Attention, Generation, Emotion, and Spacing. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidrock/2020/08/06/how-to-make-virtual-learning-better-not-worse-than-in-person/?sh=3e4c3121f471)
Students learn best when they give full attention to a subject, generate connections to it, and stay emotionally engaged. With oneboard, students use all the tools they need to draw out engaging visual connections and turn information into memory.
