Teaching with software? You gotta be kidding

When we tested many types of interactive white boards, every board maker told us their software was very simple to use. The teachers and professors who tried it, however, came back to us with a different message: the problem is not that the software is complex… but rather that is it a software. They are used to work with a standard whiteboard or blackboard, and cannot be expected to change the way they teach overnight.

We decided to create Uniboard so it looks like a standard board, not like a piece of software. When you start Uniboard, it automatically creates a new document, so you can work immediately. It always saves what you do, automatically, so you never need to think about saving or about where you have put your file on the disk . Handwriting – pen color, eraser, marker is all available immediately, in one pen click.

Page zoom, pdf text is perfect

Zoom in, and everyone can read from the back of the room. The content retains its quality even at high zoom levels. Anything you can print becomes presentation material that you can annotate.

Teachers can continue teaching as they always did, but with the power of electronic files. And little by little, they can reach further by integrating Web content, apps and other documents into their teaching.

The vector zoom, a technique that retains a high quality even at high zoom levels, allows you to magnify any document that is on the board until students in the back of the room can read it. The same is true when you browse the Web with Uniboard: you can zoom with one pen click, so that any web site immediately becomes presentation material.

We hope Uniboard will help every teacher to benefit from interactive whiteboards, not only those with a love of technology.

If you still do not have Uniboard, download it now, for Windows or Mac OSX.
