Bring everything together, including photos, drawings, links, and files with Freeform.
What does it do?
Freeform helps users organise and visually lay out content on a flexible canvas, giving them the ability to see, share, and collaborate all in one place without worrying about layouts or page sizes. Users can add a wide range of files and preview them without ever leaving the board.

Why is it useful?
Freeform boards can be collaborative or sent as view only giving scope for a range of possibilities for learning and teaching. People largely been using this new app to create boards for students of all ages from topic boards which gather sources and resources for projects and tasks, to revision boards which cover concept, key information and provide retrieval tasks. The large canvas and ability to add different types of file and links make it a great way to share multimedia resources with learners, or a place for learners to create their own!
