Abstract
I.Collaborative whiteboards are digital platforms that facilitate real-time interaction, content creation, and visual information sharing among distributed users. This study evaluates four popular collaborative whiteboard toolsMiro, Mural, Google Jamboard, and Microsoft Whiteboardfocusing on their usability, user experience, and effectiveness in remote collaboration across educational and corporate contexts. Using a mixed-methods approach, including user surveys, task performance metrics, and qualitative feedback, the study found that Miro and Mural excel in feature diversity, while Google Jamboard and Microsoft Whiteboard integrate more seamlessly within their respective ecosystems. In educational settings, the use of these tools led to a 27% increase in student engagement and a 32% improvement in information retention. Corporate teams also experienced a 41% increase in ideation efficiency during remote brainstorming sessions. The study offers evidence-based recommendations for optimizing the implementation of these platforms to enhance collaboration and learning outcomes. Future research should explore the long-term impact of these tools, potential challenges in their use, and the integration of AI-driven features to improve user experiences.II.Keywords: Collaborative Whiteboards, Remote Collaboration, Usability, User Experience, Educational Technology, Virtual Teamwork
