How to Use the Classroom

Whiteboard is an interactive tool that can be used in the Classroom similarly to a school blackboard.

You and your tutor can simultaneously write, paint and draw on the whiteboard, upload files to check for mistakes and to have a discussion.

When you enter the Classroom, the whiteboard is empty. Select one of the drawing tools on the left, click inside the whiteboard to start drawing. You can draw lines, circles, triangles and polygons, cylinders and cones, as well as any other shapes you need. You can also type, make color filled shapes, copy or use the pointer to show something to your tutor.

Before beginning a lesson you will be offered to make a Skype call  to your tutor. If you agree, a Skype call will be started automatically.

If the call hasn't been started automatically, then in the right corner of  your Classroom Whiteboard you will see two buttons: "Voice chat" and "Skype".

After clicking on "Skype" you will be offered to make a call to your tutor again.

After clicking on "Voice chat" you will be able to activate the built-in voice service.

During your lesson you are also will be able  to send messages through the chat window.Text chat is the field located to the right of the whiteboard. 

Type your message and push "Enter" on your keyboard or click on «Send». You can change the font of messages and use emoticons to express your emotions.
