THE PROBLEM

The Classroom Has Changed. Most Tools Haven't.

Teaching used to mean a board, a marker, and a room full of students looking in the same direction.

Now it means Zoom tabs, shared docs, screenshot explanations, and hoping your students are actually following along — and not just nodding at their screens.

Whether you're teaching a classroom of 5 or a cohort of 500 — Zunoy Canvas gives every student a seat at the board.

The tools haven't kept up. Zunoy Canvas has.

A free online whiteboard for teaching that was built for the way modern education actually works — live sessions, async lessons, group projects, visual explanations, and real student collaboration.

IN REAL CLASSROOMS

Find Yourself on the Canvas.

Every role thinks differently. Every role works differently. Find yours and see how Zunoy Canvas was built around the way you actually work.

The Math Lesson

Type an equation in LaTeX — it renders on the shared board instantly. Students solve it in their own section. You watch live cursors and catch errors before they become habits.

The Group Project

Frames divide the board into sections — one per group. Students brainstorm, diagram, and present without leaving the canvas.

The Visual Explanation

Words aren't enough. Draw it live — shapes, arrows, labels — while talking through the voice room. The laser pointer guides every eye to exactly the right place.

The Revision Session

Students add everything they remember to a shared board. Gaps appear visually. You fill them together — more diagnostic than a quiz, more engaging than a review lecture.

The Async Lesson

Build the board before class. Students explore it at their own pace, leave questions as comments. They arrive to the next session already engaged.

The Tutor Session

One student. One board. Draw, explain, and respond to exactly where they're stuck. The voice room makes it feel like sitting side by side — not a video call with a shared screen.

BUILT FOR EDUCATION

The Tools Your Students Need to Actually Learn

Not a list of features. A list of things that make teaching easier and learning stick.

Drawing & Annotation Tools

Pen, shapes, arrows, sticky notes — draw exactly what you mean, the moment you mean it. No fumbling with PowerPoint animations.

Math Equation

Type the expression, it renders cleanly. No plugins, no configuration. The most-requested feature among maths and science teachers switching platforms.

Mermaid Diagram

Explain processes, systems, and flows with live-rendered diagrams. Write the syntax — the diagram appears instantly. Perfect for science, technology, and computer science lessons.

Laser Pointer

Guide every student's eyes to exactly the right place on the board — in real time. No more "can everyone see where I'm pointing?"

Real-Time Collaboration

Every student on the same board at the same time. Live cursors. Instant updates. The quiet student in the back of the virtual room now has the same voice as everyone else.

Voting Cards

Run anonymous polls and structured votes directly on the board. Great for checking understanding, making group decisions, or just keeping energy up mid-session.

Comments & Threads

Students leave questions exactly where the confusion is. Teachers respond in context. No more "which part didn't you understand?" — the board shows you.

Timer

Time-box activities, group tasks, and discussions. Every student knows how long they have. Every session stays on track.

REAL QUESTIONS FROM REAL EDUCATORS

Everything Teachers Ask Before They Switch

Is Zunoy Canvas really free for teachers?

Yes — no time limit, no credit card. The free plan includes 3 boards, real-time collaboration for up to 5 editors and 10 viewers, LaTeX math, Mermaid diagrams, drawing tools, templates, comments, laser pointer, timer, and a built-in voice room.

How many students can collaborate on one board?

Free: 5 editors + 10 viewers. Pro: 50 each. Team: unlimited — suitable for large lectures and whole-school events.

Is it good for one-to-one tutoring?

Yes. Draw, explain, and respond to exactly where the student is stuck. Voice room means no separate call needed. Closer to sitting side by side than a typical video session.

Does it work for group projects?

Yes. Use Frames to give each group their own section of the board. They work simultaneously, present from their frame, nothing gets lost.

Is it compliant with GDPR and FERPA?

Zunoy Canvas encrypts data in transit and at rest and applies access controls. Compliance documentation available on request.

What happened to Google Jamboard? Can Zunoy Canvas replace it?

Jamboard went view-only in October 2024 and was fully retired by the end of December 2024. Zunoy Canvas replaces it and goes further — math equations, voice, templates, Mermaid diagrams, and export, all things Jamboard never had.

Can I record a lesson?

No built-in recorder — use Loom, Zoom, or QuickTime to record your screen while teaching. Share the recording alongside the exported board as a complete revision resource.

Can it be used for teacher training and professional development?

Yes. Interactive workshops, collaborative planning, peer feedback — the same features that work for student engagement work equally well for adult professional learning.

Do students need an account to join a lesson?

Not to watch. Anyone with the link can view a live board instantly, no account required. To draw, comment, or collaborate on the board, students create a free Zunoy account — it takes just a few seconds and doesn't require a download.

Does Zunoy Canvas support math equations?

Yes. Native LaTeX rendering, built in, free, no plugins. Type the equation, it renders on the shared board in real time.

Can I use it for async teaching or flipped classrooms?

Yes. Build the board before class, share the link, students explore at their own pace and leave comments directly on the content. The board is the lesson and the discussion thread simultaneously.

Can I save and reuse lesson boards?

Yes. Save any board as a private template, reuse with one click — each use creates a fresh copy. Export as PDF or PNG to share with students after class.

Is it better than Miro for teaching?

For most educators, yes. Miro is built for product teams. On the free plan, it has no native math equations and no built-in voice — both require a paid upgrade. Zunoy Canvas includes both, free.

Does it work with Google Classroom, Canvas, Moodle, or Blackboard?

Yes. Share a board link inside any LMS like any URL. Students can watch live instantly, or sign up in seconds to collaborate. No integration setup required. Boards can also be embedded in course pages.

Are there templates for specific subjects?

Yes. Lesson plans, mind maps, revision boards, KWL charts, and subject-specific frameworks for maths, science, language arts, and history. All editable, all saveable as private templates.
