A whiteboard for the whole class. Half price.

Tabula is an infinite whiteboard: sticky notes, drawings, shapes, timers and dot votes for group work. One workspace holds your class; every lesson can have its own board, and nothing is counted.

How a class uses it

You sign up and own the workspace. Co-teachers join as members.
Students join as guests: you send them a link, they sign in with their email, and they are in. No app, no password, nothing to install. It runs in the browser on laptops and Chromebooks.
Lessons are boards. Start one from a template or blank, run a timer, let groups write privately and then reveal, vote with dots, and keep the board for next week.
Guests are free. The price is for the workspace, not per student.

What it costs

Schools and non-profits: €14.50 a month, or €145 a year, excl. VAT (half the list price). Start the 7-day trial, write to us with your school’s name, and we apply the discount before your first payment. VAT is added at checkout based on your country, for example €36.25 incl. Swedish VAT at the list price.
Or run it yourself: Tabula is free and open source (AGPL-3.0). Your IT department can host it on the school’s own server with Docker; the README on GitHub has the steps. Then it costs nothing and nothing leaves the school.

Where the data is

Choose the EU region at signup and your workspace runs in Amsterdam; billing and email run in the EU too.
Students’ data (name, email, what they put on boards) belongs to the school; we process it on the school’s instructions. The privacy policy says what we keep and for how long. A data processing agreement is available on request.
Nothing from inside a board is used for analytics or shown to anyone you have not invited.

For your IT department

Web app, no install. Works in current Chrome and Edge, including on Chromebooks. Firefox and Safari are supported by the code and being tested. Needs a current browser with JavaScript, cookies, IndexedDB and WebSocket on.
Sign-in by emailed link; no passwords to manage. Admins see who is in the workspace and can remove anyone.
Self-host option: open source under AGPL-3.0, one container, your own domain. Guide on GitHub.
Tested with 30 people on one board.

Questions we get

Do students need an email address?: Yes, today: the sign-in link goes to it. Joining with a code, no email, is on our list.
Can parents or other teachers look?: Invite them as guests; guests can be set to view only.
What happens at the end of the year?: Export your boards (PNG, SVG, Markdown and more) or keep the workspace; cancel any time under Admin, Manage billing.
Is it really unlimited?: People, boards and guests, yes. The workspace runs on one machine; if a very large school needs a bigger one, we size it with you.

Half price applies to schools, universities, teachers buying for their own class, and registered non-profits. We check lightly (a school email or a public registry is enough) and review it once a year.
