Whiteboarding
 Whiteboarding when used in the context of computing, is the placement of shared files on an on-screen shared notebook or whiteboard. Videoconferencing and data conferencing software often lets documents as on a physical whiteboard. In hybrid whiteboarding, special handwriting detection software allows for physical whiteboards to be shared with remote and distant users, often allowing for the simultaneous addition of digital content. [1] Whiteboarding sessions — both in-office and virtual — provide teams with a collaborative, creative environment for brainstorming new ideas and solving problems. Without a defined structure in place, however, these sessions can quickly unravel and get off track.[2] With this type of software, several people can work on the image at the same time, each seeing changes the others make in near-real time. Electronic whiteboarding was included at least as early as 1996 in the CoolTalk tool in Netscape Navigator 3.0. References
