Transform passive lessons into active learning experiences with real-time student engagement and data insights.

The infinite canvas for visual storytelling, collaborative education, and asynchronous video communication.

Explain Everything, now a core pillar of the Promethean ecosystem, serves as a high-performance interactive whiteboard and screencasting platform designed for the hybrid education and corporate training markets of 2026. Architecturally, it differentiates itself from flat canvas competitors by utilizing a multi-layered object-based engine, allowing users to record, animate, and manipulate vector elements independently within a single timeline. This technical approach enables 'non-linear' video production where users can re-record specific audio or motion paths without restarting the entire capture. In 2026, the platform has pivoted towards AI-assisted layout and handwriting recognition, bridging the gap between physical ink and digital structure. Its infrastructure is optimized for high-concurrency real-time collaboration across iOS, Android, and Web platforms, utilizing proprietary synchronization protocols that minimize latency during cross-device sessions. Positioned as a mission-critical tool for Flipped Classrooms and asynchronous leadership communication, Explain Everything integrates deeply with major Learning Management Systems (LMS) and enterprise storage solutions, providing a robust, SOC2-compliant environment for knowledge transfer and visual synthesis.

Machine learning algorithm that suggests optimal grid alignments and content hierarchies.
Create an account via web or native tablet application (iOS/Android).
Configure workspace permissions and default storage locations (Google Drive/OneDrive/Dropbox).
Select a project template or start with a blank infinite canvas.
Import external assets such as multi-page PDFs or PowerPoint decks to the canvas.
Utilize the toolbar to add vector shapes, text, and browser-embedded windows.
Activate the recording engine to capture voiceover and on-screen movements simultaneously.
Use the 'Mixer' tool to edit specific animation tracks or audio segments on the timeline.
Invite collaborators via email or secure room code for real-time synchronous work.
Finalize content and render as a high-definition MP4 or a web-viewable project link.
Distribute through LMS integrations (Canvas, Schoology, Moodle) or export to local storage.
