At Escuela Superior de Economía y Negocios (ESEN) in El Salvador, a search for a better way to capture the whiteboard turned into something much bigger: live access from every seat, automatically preserved Board Memory, and a better way to follow how ideas develop step by step.

said ShareTheBoard made the professor’s writing easier to see
said it helped them a lot to follow or understand the lesson
said it helped them a lot to stay focused instead of constantly copying
But the numbers only tell part of the story.
THE CHALLENGE
ESEN had already invested in classroom technology. The goal was not to replace an entire environment, but to find a dependable way to capture more of the board after Kaptivo was discontinued—and to keep the setup practical for professors.
ESEN upgrades classrooms for hybrid teaching.
The device helps capture the physical whiteboard.
A small capture area restricts what professors can use.
The product loses ongoing customer support.
A replacement becomes an upgrade.
“We discovered the best solution that we could have ever thought about, since it allowed us much more than increasing the covered area to capture what is written on whiteboards.”
THE REAL CLASSROOM PROBLEM
Students continuously switch attention between professor, whiteboard, and notes. Miss one step and it may already be gone.
BOARD VIEW
It became something every student could carry with them.
01
Instead of racing to copy everything from the board.
02
Students can follow it directly on their own device.
03
Without interrupting the flow of the lesson.
“It helped me stay fully focused on the explanation the professor was giving instead of being worried about copying.”
Keeping the board visible on-screen reduced constant movement between the board and notes—and with it, neck strain and visual fatigue.
BOARD MEMORY
HOW STUDENTS USED IT
THE “WOW” MOMENT
Colors. Steps. Board Memory. And an AI-generated summary—all available when the class ended.
“The smile of surprise and admiration of both students and professors is, in my opinion, the ‘Aha!’ moment.”
CLASSROOM CONTEXT71%
of surveyed students typically sat in the third row or farther from the whiteboard.
In a traditional classroom, the quality of the whiteboard experience can depend on where a student happens to sit.
ShareTheBoard removes those variables.
Students can open the live board on their own laptop or smartphone, zoom in when needed and keep the content directly in front of them throughout the lesson.
“I could access it from my phone or computer, so it didn’t matter if I was sitting far away or if someone blocked my view. I could always see the full board on my device.”
Students who missed classes while recovering from surgery or temporary illness could still access what the professor had written through Board Memory.
The whiteboard became part of the learning record.
The common denominator wasn’t the subject. It was the way ideas were developed on the board.

IMPLEMENTATION
ESEN and ShareTheBoard worked closely to create a setup that would fit naturally into the classroom and make ShareTheBoard as seamless as possible for everyday teaching.
From the initial setup to classroom configuration, the focus was simple: make the technology work reliably without getting in the way of professors or students.
“The hardware bought was important, but the human support by the STB team was crucial to have the results we had.”
HOW IT FITS TOGETHER
Mounted to watch the whiteboard
Runs the ShareTheBoard session
Turns the board into a live view
Every seat gets the same clear view
“People asking for ShareTheBoard.”
And when asked what should happen next, every single respondent asked for ShareTheBoard in more of their classrooms.
STUDENTS
wanting access in more classrooms
PROFESSORS
wanting to teach with it
ACCESSIBILITY
a level playing field
The smiles matter too.
01
Capture more of the whiteboard.
02
Live access, Board Memory, and step-by-step learning.
03
The board became accessible from every seat—and remained available after class.
Make it accessible from every seat—and available long after the class ends.
