About Lucyboard
An online whiteboard built around live teaching.
Lucyboard helps tutors and teachers run lessons on a shared whiteboard. The tutor prepares material, sends a link, and students join in the browser without registration.
The short answer: what is Lucyboard?
Lucyboard is a browser-based online whiteboard for lessons, tutoring and shared problem solving. It combines a handwriting canvas with tools designed for educational materials.
Tutors can import PDF worksheets, write LaTeX formulas, plot function graphs, use a calculator, and place live quizzes or flashcards directly on the canvas. The lesson can run in Lucyboard's built-in video meeting or alongside an external call.
The platform is operated by Sebastian Choiński, a sole proprietorship registered in Poland. The product was built to eliminate technical friction from online lessons: no accounts or downloads required for students, while all lesson notes stay organized in one place.
Who Lucyboard is primarily for
The product is designed first for people who teach live and need one shared place for the source material, the explanation and the student's work.
Teachers
For explaining material, annotating PDF worksheets and checking understanding with a short quiz or a few flashcards.
Small schools and education teams
When instructors need persistent boards and simple participant access without starting each lesson with student account setup.
What a typical lesson looks like
Lucyboard supports a simple flow from preparing the material to leaving a useful record after class.
- 1
The tutor creates a board
They can start with an empty space or prepare a task, PDF, formula or graph before the lesson.
- 2
The student receives a link
They open it in a browser, enter their name and join without creating a separate account.
- 3
Both people work live
They see changes and cursors, write, draw, annotate the material and solve the task in one shared context.
- 4
The board remains after class
A persistent board saved to the tutor's account can become the starting point for the next lesson and a revision resource.
Features tied to real teaching tasks
These capabilities are part of the application and correspond to moments in a lesson, rather than a separate stack of tools to configure.
- Real-time collaboration
- Tutor and student can write and draw at the same time while seeing changes on the shared board.
- Join by link without an account
- A student does not need to register or install an app before opening a shared board.
- PDFs and annotation
- A worksheet or PDF can sit directly on the board next to highlights, notes and the solution.
- Math and graphs
- Lucyboard includes LaTeX formulas, a function graph generator and a calculator for shared problem solving.
- Quizzes and flashcards
- A short check or revision card can remain beside the exact part of the material it refers to.
- Video meetings
- Tutors can create or schedule a meeting, connect it to a board and use camera, microphone and screen sharing.
What Lucyboard does not try to be
Clear boundaries make it easier to decide whether the product fits a particular teaching workflow.
- Lucyboard is not a full LMS for course modules, grades, a class register or classroom reports.
- It has no native Google Classroom or Google Workspace integration; boards and meetings are shared by link.
- It is a web application, not a native offline iPad or desktop app.
- Large exams, question banks and rankings are better handled in a dedicated assessment system.
