Mark up websites, graphics, and photos, or start drawing on a blank canvas. Browse the web with your students or make that remote tutoring session more productive than ever. No plug-ins, downloads, or firewall voodoo – it’s all here, ready to go when you are. Browser-agnostic, user-friendly.
Sketchboard’s virtual whiteboard solution helps you to innovate ideas and solve complex problems together.
Virtual online whiteboard with team collaboration.

Virtual labs
Connect Virtual Labs is a fully online lab solution that can be used as an online lab replacement, preparation, supplement or make-up lab to bridge the gap between lab and lecture. These simulations help a student learn the practical and conceptual skills needed, then check for understanding and provide feedback. With adaptive pre-lab and post-lab assessment available, instructors can customize each assignment.
Real science, real stories, and real data to engage students in exploring the living world.
Labster gives students access to a realistic lab experience that will let them perform experiments and practice their skills in a fun and risk-free learning environment. Watch the video to learn what Labster can offer.
Over 400 math and science Gizmos gives everyone something to graph, measure, and compare. Even predict and prove. That’s hundreds of opportunities where students don’t just act like scientists and mathematicians. They are.
Virtual Labs Biology Collection
Virtual Biology Lab is a free, online educational resource provided for educational purposes. VBL simulates natural environments with the way life responds to changing conditions. We provide a world to be explored rather than a path to be followed. Background information and technical instruction help students learn by experimentation. Parameters and conditions adjust easily for observable effects and consequences.
