I was imagining using skype's new screen-sharing feature as a digital whiteboard (which would be harder to draw on, but could also be typed on, or used to show a web page just as easily), which I use with my work colleagues all the time. But it's 1-on-1 only, not broadcastable to a group. | |

| Mar 24, 2010 at 16:38 | comment | added | Kevin Buzzard | Aah yes, let me highlight a point Nikolai makes: my experience from informal reading seminars "1990s style" (i.e. you all meet up in a real room together and read the paper) is that occasionally people want to sketch ideas on a black/whiteboard so that everyone can see and contribute. With Access Grid you can use an electronic whiteboard, or a normal whiteboard plus some "magic pens" that somehow broadcast their location and a computer and pick it up and make an electronic copy of the board to broadcast. This will be a big problem if you just want to use Skype. | |
