In addition to the functionality that has come to be expected on platforms like WebEx, Zoom, Hangouts and the like, a virtual whiteboard is available that allows presenters to showcase documents and edit them. This structure allows instructors to hold class, office hours, or individual appointments, as well as other uses.
