Groupboard allows you to put multi-user tools, such as whiteboard, chat, message boards and games, into your web pages simply by pasting in a few lines of HTML code (alternatively you can access your Groupboard simply by clicking on the link we supply). Groupboard works on any browser which has Java or Ajax support, which includes Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and Safari on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX, as well as iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Android - no plugins or downloads required.
Groupboard was originally released in 1998 and has been refined over the years, resulting in a realiable, scalable collaboration system for business, education or fun. It is currently being used by hundreds of tutors, schools and universities around the world for distance learning and online collaboration (see our customers page for more info). Over 100,000 free Groupboards have been set up.
