What changes when the lesson reaches past the board
Boardous gives you a whiteboard that keeps everything you draw. These are the places Class Spot adds to it in an ordinary teaching week.
Teach on any website, with your student at the controls
Boardous brings PDFs, images and video onto the board, and shares your screen when you need to show something. Class Spot adds Shared Tab Control: open any website inside the lesson and hand your student the mouse and keyboard. They practise on the real booking form, coding sandbox or exam portal while you watch every move, and you step in the moment they get stuck.

To practise on a website: hand over the tabBoardous: To show a website: share your screen
Your student only sees the tab you chose. The tab runs peer-to-peer and is never stored on Class Spot servers.
PDF in, a self-checking lesson out
Boardous lets you build reusable lesson templates and annotate PDFs on the board. Class Spot takes the PDF one step further: drop in a textbook chapter or your own notes, and you get a draft Study Guide with exercises that check themselves. Use it live, send it as homework, then turn the new words into Flash Cards. The AI assistant at the board writes a short explanation while you keep talking, and from Solo Pro it also draws graphs and formulas.
