The best online whiteboard for workshops

Facilitate Activities That Get Everyone Involved

Running a great workshop means keeping participants active, not passive. With Jotboard, you can set up each slide as a different activity station: one for brainstorming with sticky notes, another for mapping ideas with shapes and arrows, and another for collecting feedback with text boxes. Share a single link and participants join the board instantly without needing to create an account or install anything. As soon as they are in, they can contribute their own notes, drawings, and ideas alongside everyone else. This low barrier to entry means you spend less time on logistics and more time on the work that matters.

Structure Group Exercises with Slides

The slide-based interface is ideal for guiding a workshop through multiple stages. Prepare your agenda in advance by creating a slide for each exercise, complete with instructions, prompts, and visual frameworks. During the session, move through slides sequentially to keep the group on track, or jump back to a previous slide to revisit an idea. Within each slide, participants can work freely on the whiteboard surface, arranging sticky notes into clusters, drawing connections between concepts, or using colored shapes to categorize responses. The result is a structured flow that still leaves plenty of room for organic discussion and creative thinking.

Capture and Share Outcomes Effortlessly

One of the biggest challenges of any workshop is making sure the ideas generated in the room do not disappear afterward. Because everything in Jotboard is digital, your entire workshop output is saved automatically. When the session wraps up, export the board as a PDF and distribute it to all attendees as a clean record of what was discussed, decided, and planned. You can also keep the board open for asynchronous follow-up, letting participants add final thoughts or refine ideas after the workshop ends. The free plan supports up to five collaborators, perfect for small workshops, while the paid plan at four dollars a month removes the limit for larger groups.
