And great service Pros I have spent considerable time learning all the different video whiteboard possibilities in terms of education, both at the University level and K-12. After a lengthy analysis, it's not even close to Groupworld offering the best service. Online education is important for 21st-century learners, and Groupworld is a program with all the tools and customization features. I have been highly recommending Groupworld to my University and Business Partners. Cons Everything is great. The service has been well tested out. Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) Integrating the whiteboard and video provides the maximum flexibility to have an outstanding lesson. Also, the upload capabilities are beyond any other product out there. Alternatives considered [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) Reasons for choosing Groupworld Upload capabilities and the whiteboard. Maximum edit capabilites.

Founder E-Learning ### "Reliable whiteboard with great ongoing support!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 23, 2021 Overall, we at CleverClogs enjoy using the Groupworld whiteboard and we are looking forward to a long term partnership with Groupworld. Pros My development team were able to implement Groupworld into our website, relatively easily. The whiteboard has all the functions you would need for online learning. The CleverClogs tutors have found it easy to use. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] from Groupworld has been incredibly supportive and is always at hand to assist with an issues or questions. Cons The whiteboard looks slightly dated but it is customisable! Reasons for choosing Groupworld Groupworld offers value for money. BitPaper is missing a lot of the key features that Groupworld offers eg. calculators, unsynchronised editing and Youtube.

BH Barry H. Owner Education Management ### "Loving Groupworld for Online Tutoring in 2020" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 30, 2020 My time using Groupworld for online tutoring has gone from happy to ecstatic the more I use it. The students have voiced they love it too. It's a modern online classroom with no downloads, no flash, works on all browsers all the time in a simple way, very strong video and audio, and the tools are easy to access. I have tried and worked with numerous online tutor programs, and Groupworld beats all of them by far. It feels like it was built by an educator not some big company that is out of touch. It is customizable, customer support is the best I have ever seen, and everything works as needed. If it doesn't, they help you to get it the way you want all at an affordable price. If there is an issue they are responsive. The part that makes them stand out is they are a small company that helps you make your classroom your own based on your needs and does not do the one size fits all approach. I am impresssed to see how much Groupworld has developed over the last 10 years and my students find it has everything to help them learn math in it. Pros Groupworld has been the best online virtual classroom I have ever found because 1) I can highly customize my own classroom through a settings panel while having multiple classrooms 2) their reliability and clarity of the audio/video and the smoothness of the writing with a deep set of tools on the toolbar and 3) the exceptional help from the company when needed. When tutoring, all features of the classroom have to be reliable, predicatable, and work; students are paying and time is important. Groupworld constantly improves their application and makes it better, clearer, and easier for me to help my students. It is HTML5 which works in all browsers and very rich in features that make it kid friendly. It handles importing documents perfectly and the real time writing on all screens is flawless. Uploads, downloading your screen work as .pdfs, and controls are all positives. The online calculator that appears for both the teacher and student is excellent as well. Cons The only con I can think of is I wish I could rename the pages to help find them easier when I have documents with many pages. Switched from [WizIQ LMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/137808/WizIQ-LMS/) The reason I switched is that Groupworld just knows what teachers need in an online environment, constantly improves, and gives so many classroom options to let the teacher control how things work- this is magic and does not exist with ANY of the competing tutor programs on this planet (and there are many). Groupworld's communication via email is tops and very important to me. Reasons for choosing Groupworld Groupworld lets me customize what I need whether it be video size, toolbar items, or control of students in the room. This is key and makes their product very valuable. Teachers all like things certain ways, teach different subjects differently, and Groupworld features help keep the environment fun for kids to learn. I look forward to years of working with them.

" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 February 22, 2020 Pros We have recently implemented the Group world software into our already existing tutoring platform. The software offers an excellent solution for all one's online tutoring needs. Everything a student and tutor could think of that would be needed during a tutoring session, is available. Additionally, we received excellent customer support. Responses were always fast, professional and friendly. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] was very quick to provide support when needed. Cons Relatively hard to make styling changes to the online tutoring board. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Finance and IT Director Education Management ### "Very Highly recommended for online tutoring" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 February 18, 2019 We have clients all over the world who want high quality online tutoring. Groupworld provides a very stable platform which can be scaled according to our needs and provides a feature rich platform which is easy to use. We have tried other platforms but none of them were as easy to use, had the resilience we needed, or lacked essential features. Pros It is really easy to set up and create new shared boards. It is intuitive to use. Very little training is needed by our staff and by our clients. The customer support is FANTASTIC. It just works, with no additional downloads - zero footprint on the machine. Cons Although there are good security features, they don't model our business well. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

The Network recommends all coaches use Groupworld for multiple reasons, including amazing customer service, and replies to inquires. The Network of Coaches agree that the Groupworld platform is the best fit for coaching. Pros Easy to use and can host multiple rooms for coaching. Cons Layout but with some customer service and some customizing, now it looks great with our brand colours and logo.

Sam S. CMO ### "Wonderful experience!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 2, 2018 Good cost performance. Pros Lovely testing and purchasing and implementation experience. Got hand held by their representative the whole way and it was great. Pricing was a key factor as well. Cons Customizeable -- but the original version isn't the most beautiful. Think the icons are just drawn from a generic database and the other design factors are basic.

General Manager ### "Easy to use, friendly and good value for your money." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 April 30, 2018 Pros Groupworld virtually works in every environment, which means it's cross platform and you don't have to worry about what your clients are using as their end device. Cons It could be better optimized (regarding hardware) and group controls/group handling is lacking some options/features. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor May 1, 2018 Regarding the hardware: the issue that Vojislav has is that we use some open-source software for actions such as uploading documents and converting the recordings to mp4 format. By their nature some of these processes are fairly cpu or memory intensive. However, a medium AWS server is generally sufficient to handle up to about 150 simultaneous users. (This is only a factor with the self-hosted enterprise license. With the hosted cloud solution we manage the server). We are looking into providing more fine grained control over presenter features (audio/video/whiteboard permissions). LP Lowell P. Owner, CEO ### "Very good software for our online tutoring business." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 April 27, 2018 Pros Echo cancellation allows tutoring sessions without headsets, and the audio quality is very good and reliable. Cons The software has few weaknesses. The recorded sessions could use a bit of upgrading for user convenience. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor May 1, 2018 We have the option of converting the recorded sessions to mp4 format, which makes them easier to view. Previously 24houranswers tried to set this up on their server (they are running the enterprise version of Groupworld on their own server), but had some issues because it was quite an involved process to set up. We have since simplified the process, so hopefully 24houranswers can set this up in future. (For the 25-user and higher hosted solution, running our our server, we provide optional automatic uploading of recordings to Vimeo, which doesn't require any setup by the customer). CS Charles S. Owner ### "Great Software For Any Collaborative Whiteboard Needs" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 17, 2018 Functioning Whiteboard Software For Everyday Use Pros Very Mature Software With Few Bugs The software was originally developed in 1997 and has been continually improved upon since then. This is hard to find these days with software companies popping up and having numerous bugs and usability issues. I have never encountered a glitch on Groupworld. Easy To Customize Most other softwares don't let you customize. This software is completely customizable especially with the enterprise license. There are several javascript customizations you can do as well that give your users a seamless experience. There are no plugins or downloads and the software runs directly in the browser. Plethora Of Whiteboard Functions Pretty much anything you can think of for whiteboard software is there. Pens, Shapes, Image Uploads, Saving Whiteboard, Password Protection, Pagination, Graphs, Crosshairs etc. There is not a single functionality this whiteboard is missing. Great For Tutors Tutors love this software and find it extremely easy to use. Within minutes (with no explanation) a tutor is able to bring their tutoring online! Cons Not really any negatives about the software itself. Website could use a modern spruce up but the new UI for the whiteboard is very functional.
