Knobase’s whiteboard tool allows educators and students to capture real-time classroom interactions and convert them into actionable AI input. Whether you're sketching a math problem, diagramming a science concept, or annotating a group discussion, the whiteboard feature supports visual learning and multimodal engagement.
This tool is especially useful for younger learners, visual thinkers, and teachers who want to turn spontaneous classroom moments into structured learning data.
🧠 Why It Matters
✅ Supports visual and kinesthetic learning styles
✅ Enables real-time capture of classroom content
✅ Enhances AI understanding of non-textual input
✅ Bridges the gap between physical teaching and digital feedback
⚙️ How It Works
