Explain in real time
Your handwriting and diagrams appear for students as you draw them, so explanations keep pace with your voice.
Online whiteboard for teaching
Teach on a whiteboard your students can see — and join.
Whether you tutor one student or teach a small class online, CanvaRoom lets you write and draw with ink that appears for everyone instantly, talk over built-in voice, and decide when students can draw too.
What you can do
You decide who draws
Invite students as viewers or editors, and pause editing for the whole board while you present.
Lessons across pages
Prepare a lesson as a series of pages, duplicate a page for each exercise, and move through them during class.
Hand out the board afterwards
Export any page as a PDF or image to share with students, or keep the board and reuse it next term.
How it works
- Create a board and prepare a page for each part of the lesson.
- Share the invite link; students join as guests with a name.
- Start voice, teach, and let students draw when you are ready.
Questions
Do students need accounts?
No. Students can join from your link with just a name.
How many students can join voice?
Voice works best for up to about eight people, which suits tutoring and small groups.
Can I stop students from drawing?
Yes. Make them viewers, or pause editing for everyone while you present.
