Sounds like important brainstorming activities. How do you deal with this when you're remote?
- Klathmon 8y agoFor me, Wacom tablets or tablet-with-stylus kinds of devices. Now it's not only a whiteboard, but I can take screenshots, collaborate with countless others, undo, search, zoom and pan infinitely, etc... And they can be had for around $100 or less.
- JoeAltmaier 8y agoUsing whiteboard and notepad features of the collaboration tool. Which are legible and visible to everyone all the time, not just if you're looking over somebody's shoulder
- toxican 8y agoI suppose you could point a webcam at the whiteboard, although there are a lot of options out there for online collaboration. We use MS stuff at work and multiple people can live-edit Word, One Note, etc. docs for example.
- manigandham 8y agoPlenty of real-time whiteboarding tools. Something simple like a shared google doc works well for 90% of it.
- beambot 8y agoWhich collaborative whiteboard solutions do you like?
- manigandham 8y agoWe use https://www.notion.so/ https://www.notion.so/ for notes, tasks, wiki and project management. Google Docs for quick stuff or formal writeups. Occasionally we'll use OneNote online or https://awwapp.com/ https://awwapp.com/ which has more freeform drawing if we need it, but otherwise it's usually just typing stuff out in lists. This is all on peoples computers, no fancy video-conferencing setups. Those are almost always a waste of money and never work well.
- beambot 8y agoHrm. None of these really seem like whiteboarding though.
- manigandham 8y agoI'm not sure what you mean then, what is whiteboarding exactly?
