The control panel

At the bottom of your interactive whiteboard - tablet - mobile (android & ios), you will find the application control panel.

The control panel is divided into two major categories of tools: the application tools (the upper strip of tools against
the light-blue background) and the whiteboard - tablet - mobile (android & ios) tools (the lower strip of tools against
the grey background).

The application tools

The application tools will help you navigate through lessons and activities, show or hide answers to exercises, view
videos, control audio, etc. Some of them (such as the Home button that lets you return to the main menu) are available
most of the time. Others, such as the Show Audioscript or Show Text buttons, become available only in certain activities.
Inactive buttons show greyed-out.

Function is available Function is unavailable

You can see what each button does by hovering your mouse pointer over the icon. Without clicking, a helpful tooltip
like the one below will appear.

The whiteboard - tablet - mobile (android & ios) tools

The whiteboard - tablet - mobile (android & ios) tools offer several functions (pen, marker, magnifying glass, etc.) and
are independent of the standard tools of your interactive whiteboard - tablet - mobile (android & ios), which means that
this software is compatible with all interactive whiteboards - tablets - mobiles (android & ios) on the market.
