Made for 100+ seat courses
Bulk invitations, TA roles, coding questions with auto-run, and screens that don’t flinch at large cohorts.
Live classes
Teach on the board. The class keeps itself, page by page.
A whiteboard inside the live class, made for the pen on an interactive panel and just as happy with a mouse. What you draw reaches every student as you draw it, lands in the recording, and is kept beside it as notes for the same evening. Students watch the board; only you can draw on it.
- ·Pen, highlighter, shapes and text
- ·Pages, and a grid when you want one
- ·A curtain to reveal a proof line by line
- ·A quick poll: yes/no, A–D, “got it / lost me”
- ·Students tap to point at what they mean
- ·In the browser and in Institra Desktop

One tap and you are drawing
“On the board” next to the class opens the room with the board up and nothing else on screen. Focus keeps it that way for the whole lecture.
- ✓
Say it, and the board draws it
Tap the microphone, say “binary search tree with seven nodes” or “a circle with its equation”, and it appears as shapes and text you can edit, so you tidy instead of draw. Type it if you would rather. A lapel or wireless microphone hears you best.
- ✓
Your slides under your pen
Put a PDF of your deck on the board. Each slide becomes its own page, locked underneath, so you annotate over it and the slide stays put.
- ✓
Notes the same evening
Every page is kept beside the recording. As the video plays, the page you were on is highlighted; click a page to jump to it. One PDF of all pages, or any page on its own, to download.
- ✓
Pick up where last week stopped
Open an earlier class’s pages onto today’s board and keep drawing. Last week’s notes stay exactly as they were.
- ✓
Nothing to install on the panel
It runs in the browser on the PC that drives your panel, or in Institra Desktop. The panel keeps its own software for everything else; there is nothing to integrate.
The desktop client
When the exam really matters, the browser isn’t enough.
Institra Desktop opens the exam in one fullscreen window with no tabs and no address bar, runs the camera inside it, and reports to the professor exactly what it managed to enforce on that machine — a reading, not a claim. Windows, macOS and Ubuntu differ in what an operating system will allow, and it says which one it is on.
- ✓ One window, one exam — every other link, pop-up and download is refused
- ✓ Refuses to start with a second display, inside a virtual machine, or beside an open browser
- ✓ Camera proctoring runs inside the locked window — no live camera, no questions
- ✓ Exams can require it — a normal browser is politely turned away, and the server checks the client on every request
