    3331 * '''Support for multiple pages''' : This tool enables the instructor to create multiple whiteboard pages. When he creates a new page the other pages become read-only but he always has options for editing or deleting pages. He can also save all the pages in one shot in the form of images. Note that all the operations - ''new page'', ''edit page'', ''delete page'' and ''switch page'' are performed automatically on the students' side giving this whole process the form of a presentation.

     33 * '''Support for separate class groups''' : This tool enables the instructor to create separate class groups within his account. By default all the buddies who are online in the instructor's account get whiteboards when instructor starts the classroom session. However, the instructor can select/deselect some specific groups (corresponding to different courses) in his buddylist. Only the buddies in those groups will receive the whiteboards when a classroom is started.
    3434
    3535 * '''Support for small video''' : This is done by integrating a flash based player using open source Swfdec flash library. The purpose of this tool is to provide video support with which will enable students to see the video played by the instructor. The video is started simultaneously in all the student accounts. If a student wants to see the video again he can click on the video button on his board. Note the the video URL is specified by the instructor on his own interface and students shall be able to see the video only when the instructor plays the video and exits. This is a sort of check that video URL is working.
