05. Whiteboarding

  1. Whiteboarding is a way to share with your partner a portion of your monitor screen (for example, the part that displays an open graphic file) or share a white panel of varying size that you and your partner can draw or make other notations on.
  2. To create a whiteboard within RCT, click on the Whiteboard button in the RCT Access Bar.
  3. A panel appears asking if you want to create a white panel as a whiteboard or if you want to share a portion of your monitor screen. Select either by clicking on the button.
  4. WHITE
    1. When you click the White button, the monitor screen turns completely white.
    2. Position your mouse in one corner, hold down the mouse button and drag out an area to share with your partner. When you've marked out the desired size, release the mouse button. A whiteboard now appears on both your screen and your partner's.

  1. In the Draw menu, select a drawing tool and color (to distinguish your markings for your partner's). Any markings you make appear on both screens. You can also enter text.

 

  1. Close the whiteboard by clicking in the closebox in its upper left corner.
  1. SCREEN
    1. The screen whiteboard is useful if you want to share a picture file open on one of the computers.
    2. First, open the text file, graphic, web page, etc. you want to share and make sure it is topmost on your computer screen.
    3. Return to RCT and click on the Whiteboard button in the RCT Access Bar, and then click the Screen button. All open RCT windows disappear, leaving your monitor screen available for capture.
    4. Select the desired part of your screen by marking out a space with your mouse: place the cursor arrow at the upper right-hand corner of the desired whiteboard, press the mouse button, and while holding down the button, drag the mouse to form a rectangle that outlines the desired area. When the desired area is defined, release the mouse button.
    5. A whiteboard (a picture of the marked-off section of your monitor screen) now appears on your screen and your partner's.
    6. In the Draw menu, select a drawing tool and color (to distinguish your markings for your partner's). Any markings you make appear on both screens. You can also enter text.
    7. Close the whiteboard by clicking in the closebox in its upper left corner.
    8. Only one whiteboard can be open at any one time. Opening a second whiteboard will always erase the previous one whether opened by you or your partner. You cannot save whiteboards in RCT.
