ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solutions, introduced its digital teaching and learning platform, myViewBoard, in 2018 and it has achieved a milestone with over 3 million users in 3,000 schools across 130 countries worldwide in May 2021.
myViewBoard is a visual learning platform purpose-built to facilitate communication, collaboration, and engagement through a comprehensive suite of apps designed to help people to work, teach, and learn in their own way.
myViewBoard consists of rich applications for users to remotely control devices (Manager, Companion), collaborate (Whiteboard, Classroom, Live, Record and Display) and create teaching content (via Clips and Originals). To assist educators transitioning to distance and hybrid teaching more seamlessly, ViewSonic introduced myViewBoard Classroom in 2020. Classroom facilitates teaching between physical and virtual learning spaces, allowing teachers and students to engage intuitively in both educational environments.
