The use of our interactive whiteboard is easy and intuitive to use. After you login following the link provided in the invitation to attend the scheduled tutoring session, you will see the interactive whiteboard and the tutor will be ready for you. You are not required to have any special
software installed. The first session, will take approximately 5-10 minutes to set up but subsequent sessions take less than a minute.
After logging in, a whiteboard screen appears in
your computer screen. ( Click here to see technical requirements and settings to use the shared whiteboard) and is easy and intuitive to use. The teacher and student share the
same electronic whiteboard and exchange questions and answers in
writing which are displayed on both their computer displays. The
student and tutor also speak to each other either through their computer’s built in
microphone and speaker or through an external headphone with
microphone. In addition to being able to share questions and answers
with the tutor, the tutor or student can display any slides, diagrams,
or examples that he or she wishes to share from his or her computer.
Hence, the sessions are virtually seamless in terms of allowing
real-time interactions all in a setting and at the times that the
student chooses.
If you are satisfied with the initial tutoring session(s), we recommend that the student purchases an optional
digital tablet and headphone with microphone (approximately $75 for both) which is
easier to use but our whiteboard does not require its purchase.
