Interactive Whiteboards

What is an interactive whiteboard

An interactive whiteboard is a touch-sensitive multimedia device for working with digital content in real time. It combines the functions of a display, a control tool, and a software environment, allowing you to write, open files, and work with videos, diagrams, and presentations without additional complex settings.

An electronic whiteboard for schools is often used as a basic tool in the classroom, but its capabilities are much broader. Interactive panels are often used with it, providing a larger diagonal and autonomous operation without a projector.

Functionality

An interactive whiteboard supports various formats for working with content and other devices:

• multi-point touch and operation with a stylus or fingers;
• connection to a computer or standalone mode; 
• creating notes and saving work results;
• integration with educational and presentation materials.

For group work in a horizontal format, interactive tables are also used, allowing several users to interact with content simultaneously.

Where interactive whiteboards are used

Its areas of application are quite broad: 

• in business — for presentations, staff training, and planning; 
• in development centers — for classes with children; 
• at home — as a large touch screen for learning or work; 
• in the military sphere — for working with maps, diagrams, video data, and analytics. 

In spaces with a large flow of users, interactive kiosks are additionally used, providing quick access to information.
