With the Blackboard Collaborate release coming Aug. 6, attendees can enjoy better formatting, usability, and annotation persistence with the release of new whiteboard annotation tools. With these improvements, attendees can enjoy these features on a session whiteboard or shared file.
* Better formatting: Pencil thickness, fonts and font size, shapes with color fill, arrows, and more are added to the annotation tools.
* Usability: It’s easier to copy and reuse elements and paste text. You can now erase part of the annotations or clear all. There are multi-line text blocks, text wrapping, and safeguards before clearing all annotations.
* Interaction with breakout groups: You can annotate a file in the main room and then share it with the breakout groups including annotations.
* Annotation persistence: Annotations made to the whiteboard, or on a file, are saved in the session. You can share something new, go to a new slide, or stop sharing. The annotations remain. Select Clear Annotations to remove them all.
