Scriblink is an online white board with an integrated IMS (instant messaging system).

Scriblink users can...

  • draw,
  • type, or
  • edit images on a white board.

Users have the option of...

  • sharing their white board with others and
  • allowing other users to collaborate on the whiteboard.

There is no need to set up an account or register in order to use the white board.

Users can take advantage of all kinds of useful features, such as...

  • Privacy: the board is all yours, open only to the people you choose to invite
  • Dynamic Tools: use shapes, hundreds of colors, a size bar, a text feature, and a grid to help guide your drawings
  • File Options: gives you the ability to print, save, and email your work
  • Image Uploader: upload an image onto the whiteboard as the background, allowing you to share it, mark it, deface it, or highlight key elements
  • In-Screen Chat: when working with others, no need to sign in to third party software, simply use our in-screen chat
  • VOIP Conferencing: if you have a microphone for your computer, you can automatically connect with your collaborators (no software necessary) and talk for free for as long as you like
  • File transfer: when emailing is too much of a hassle, simply transfer files directly to anyone you're working with

Scriblink provides a way to share notes, outlines, and drawings with learners; learners can also be invited to collaborate on an online whiteboard to work through problems or to brainstorm/blue sky/Thought Shower. It is ideal for dispersed learners or those who are unable to attend face-to-face sessions.

Scriblink is like pen and paper, minus the dead trees, plastic, and the inconvenience of being at the same place at the same time; visit to http://www.scriblink.com/ try it out and to get your unique URL.
