Whiteboard Lessons ꀊꑍꃅꑌꉬꉼꀊꉬꅐꇳ Training by Scribble Scribbleꉬꏂꑍꉬꏂꑍꉬꏂꑍꉬ

Whiteboard lessons are a part of Scribbleꉬꏂꑍꉬꏂꑍꉬꏂꑍꉬ that teach a topic instead of a task. Scribble turns your map into a white grid, draws the picture being explained, and talks you through it. While Scribble speaks, the part of the picture being explained glows. Each picture ends with something for you to do on the board.

Whiteboard lessons are ꀊꀠ for every signed-in account.

Start a lesson

1. Open the editor at scribblemaps.com/create.
2. In the Launch Pad, look under ꀊꑍꀊꌠ and choose Scribbleꉬꏂꑍꉬꏂꑍꉬꏂꑍꉬ.
3. Open the ꀊꑍꃅꑌꉬꉼꀊꉬꅐꇳ tab.
4. Choose a lesson and press its play button (ꉬꈭ).

Each lesson card shows how many boards it has, for example Boards: 4, and ꀊꏂ once you have finished it.

You can also ask Scribble, for example "teach me how AI works" or "how does GPS work?".

How a lesson works

A lesson is a set of boards, one picture each.

1. Scribble says each line out loud while the part of the picture it is about glows. Press ꃅꏂ for the next line, ꀊꑍ to go back, or ꀊꑍꃅꑌꉬꉼ to hear a line again.

2. After the last line, press ꀊꑍꃅ. There are three kinds of tasks:

   • Tap the right part of the picture.
   • Drag cards into the right boxes. Grab a card to move it. Drag the empty board to move the whole picture.
   • Pick an answer in the panel, then press ꀊꑍꑊ. You can also tell Scribble your answer.

3. A wrong try shows a hint. After two wrong tries you can press ꀊꑍꃅꑌꉬꉼ.

4. Press ęÄČęí† for the next board.

If you wait, the button to press next glows. On a drag task, the task is done as soon as every card is in its box, even if Scribble is still talking.

You can ask Scribble questions at any time. Scribble answers and points at the part of the picture it is about, but does not give away the answer.

Your map is safe

The whiteboard uses the whole map, so the lesson opens a new, blank map. When you finish or close the panel, your saved map opens again.

• If your map has unsaved changes and has been saved before, Scribble asks: "Save your changes first?" Choose ꀊꑍꃅꑌꉬꉼꀊꃅꈬꂷ, or ꉬꉌ to stay on your map.
• If your map was never saved, you are told its unsaved changes will be lost. Choose ꀊꑍꃅꑌꉬꉼꀊꃅꈬꂷ to go on, or ꉬꉌ. After the lesson you get a new, blank map.

Anything drawn on the whiteboard during a lesson is not kept.

ꀉꌠꄜꁈ that you finished

When you finish a lesson, the panel shows Whiteboard complete and a picture card with the lesson's name.

• ꀉꌠꄜꁈ posts the card with your device's share options. If your browser cannot share, the text and link are copied instead.
• ꀊꑍꃅꑌꉬꉼ saves the card.
• ꀊꑍꃅꑌꉬꉼ copies "I finished the lesson ... by Scribble!" with a link.

ꀊꑍꃅꑌꉬꉼ runs the lesson again, and ꀊꑍꃅꑌꉬꉼꀊꃅ takes you back to the list.

Whiteboards in courses

Some course steps use a whiteboard too. Press ꀊꑍꃅꑌꉬꉼꀊꃅꈬꂷ on the step. In GIS 101, the Projections lesson shows why flat maps stretch, and the Spatial ꀊꌠꆹꁨ course shows ęܧęܧ, lines and polygons and how ꀊꋍ and raster store the same lake. Your practice map is saved first and comes back when the board is done.

Troubleshooting

• I do not see the ꀊꑍꃅꑌꉬꉼꀊꉬꅐꇳ tab. ꉬꏂꑍꑍꈬ first. The tab only shows when the lessons load for your account. ꏅ Scribbleꉬꏂꑍꉬꏂꑍꉬꏂꑍꉬ and open it again.
• "You opened another map, so the whiteboard closed." Press ꀊꑍꃅꑌꉬꉼ to run the lesson from the start.
• "ꀊꑍꃅꑌꉬꉼꀊꃅꈬꂷ." Press ꀊꑍꃅꑌꉬꉼꀊꃅ and choose a lesson from the list.
