About

Hyperchalk is a self-hosted collaborative online whiteboard software. Similar to commercial solutions like Miro or Flinga, this software provides users with collaborative boards which they can use to draw, write or sketch together. However, unlike commercial solutions, Hyperchalk allows for collecting rich log data, which can be used to study the behaviour of its users and to allow learning analytics and studies on computer-supported collaborative learning. Hyperchalk comes with a built-in replay mode which allows watching how users behave in its spaces. Hyperchalk Board supports the LTI1.3 standard, which enables a seamless integration with learning management systems such as Moodle, Blackboard or Canvas. It was developed with data privacy in mind and allows for the easy anonymisation of user data. Hyperchalk is open source and was released under the GPLv2 licence.
