Microsoft Whiteboard is a digital collaboration canvas on which you can draw, write, add note cards, paste pages from a file, and so on. It can be used either to work alone or to share the output with others either for review or co-working.

Please notice! You can only share whiteboards inside your organization, which means that users must log in to the HAMK-network with a user ID to view boards.
