Integrated Whiteboard

[ksrogers]

An integrated whiteboard would be an excellent option in discussions. Currently, a drawback with both Jamboard and Microsoft Whiteboard is there's no way to identify who contributes what to a whiteboard. Microsoft is adding live cursor so you can see who is contributing in real time, but that identifier only lasts for a moment. Then you can't see who posted it.

If Canvas does consider adding an integrated whiteboard, a teacher setting to allow or disallow anonymous posts would be ideal. It would really be useful to have the display name appear with the whiteboard contribution just as it does in Canvas discussions or even chat.
