The best online whiteboard for students

Collaborate on Group Projects

Group projects are easier when everyone can contribute to the same workspace. With Jotboard, one person creates a board and shares the link — teammates can join instantly from any browser without needing to sign up. Use sticky notes to assign tasks, text boxes to draft content, and images to collect research materials. The slide-based layout helps you organize your project into sections, with one slide per topic or deliverable. Because changes appear in real time, you can work together during a call or side by side in the library, and everyone always sees the latest version.

Take Visual Notes and Study Together

Some concepts are easier to understand when you can see them. Jotboard lets you sketch diagrams, draw flowcharts, and map out processes using pen tools and shapes. Create a study board with one slide per chapter or topic, then fill each slide with key definitions on sticky notes, diagrams drawn by hand, and images imported from your course materials. You can also import lecture slides or handouts as a PDF and annotate directly on top of them, adding your own highlights, notes, and drawings without altering the original document.

Free and Easy to Access

Jotboard is free to use with unlimited boards, which means you can create a separate board for every class, project, or study group without hitting a paywall. It runs entirely in the browser, so there is nothing to download or install — just open the link and start working. Collaborators do not need to create an account, which makes it easy to invite classmates quickly. The free plan supports up to five people per board, and if your study group is larger, the paid plan at four dollars a month removes that limit.
