EZWrite 6

What EZWrite 6 does inside a lesson

EZWrite 6 is whiteboard software from BenQ, so a lesson can run on a BenQ Board, a laptop, a tablet or a web browser without changing how it is taught. It is available for Windows, macOS, Chromebook, iPad, most web browsers and the BenQ Board, and any version can join the same cloud whiteboard. A school with a mix of devices can therefore share one canvas across different rooms.

The canvas is infinite and scalable. Teachers can zoom in on a small diagram, zoom out to see the full page and add pages as the lesson grows, while each participant navigates at their own pace.

Preparing and reviewing lessons in one place

Before class, teachers can import PowerPoint, Word and Excel files, PDFs, slides and images, and embed videos and URLs. Existing SMART Notebook and IWB files open in EZWrite for editing, so older lesson plans can be updated rather than rebuilt. Scans from books can be converted to editable text using AI, and material saved in a cloud storage account can be opened to load lesson content prepared in advance.

After class, sessions can be exported as PDF or image files, recorded, or livestreamed with YouTube Live, so students can review the content at their own pace.

Teaching tools that keep students involved

Pens and highlighters come in several colours and sizes, and content can be erased by hand, struck through or cleared from a whole page. Handwriting is converted to text, and hand-drawn circles, triangles and squares are straightened into clean shapes. Mathematics lessons can use the calculator, Microsoft Math Solver and geometry tools, while the timer, scoreboard, random draw and spinner help turn a lesson into an activity.

Split screen places Google Chrome, Maps or Drive beside the canvas, and drag and drop brings images, text and links onto the board. Floating Notes lets a teacher annotate over split-screen content or an HDMI input source while still working on the canvas. A document camera can share textbook pages or experiments, with live annotation and screenshots.

Where it fits in Qatar

• A private school in Al Wakrah with iPads and Chromebooks in primary classes, where pupils write from their seats on one shared canvas and the scoreboard runs a team competition.
• A university training centre in Education City where a lecturer teaches a group on campus and invites remote students to join the board in real time through video conferencing.
• A corporate training room in Msheireb where a trainer loads prepared PDFs and presentations from cloud storage, then exports the session notes for participants after the session.

What to plan before you request a quote

EZWrite 6 is software, so planning starts with the devices and displays your lessons will use. List the platforms in each room, confirm whether teachers need tap-to-open, which relies on NFC support, and decide whether lessons will be stored in the cloud or on local devices. Remote lessons also need a video conferencing tool, so check which one your school already uses.
