Conceptboard – Online Whiteboard for Real-Time Collaboration

Conceptboard is a web app that offers an online whiteboard for real-time collaboration. It has array of features, and that it’s optimized to work on the iPad. It allows users to upload files (PDFs, documents, images) onto the board and to take screenshots, and also features commenting tools.

Conceptboard provides an enormous work area, similar to a large flip chart that you can access via your browser and where you can work together with any number of people. You can upload your documents, proposals, presentations, technical drawings, etc. onto a board and add comments. The people you are working with can be in your company, or they may be guests that may work with you only once.

After signing up, you can create your first board. Across the top of the board is a menu bar allowing you to upload files, take screenshots to add to the board, scribble on the board with a selection of drawing tools, add comments and selection and zoom controls. Uploaded files are converted and placed on the board; then you can then annotate and comment on them.

You can share the board with your team by clicking the “Invite participant” link at the top-right of the screen to send them an email, or by sending them the URL of the board. Only the person creating the board has to create an account; collaborators don’t have to log in, although if they don’t, any comments they make will then be left anonymously. Boards can be public or private and password-protected.
