Digital Whiteboard

A web- or app-based collaborative canvas (e.g., Miro, FigJam, Mural, Google Jamboard) that lets multiple users co-create content on an effectively boundless surface using sticky notes, sketches, shapes, images, and connectors. Digital whiteboards have become central to remote brainstorming, design sprints, UX research, and education, but their reliance on freeform spatial layout, drag-and-drop, and real-time cursor movement makes them largely inaccessible to blind and low-vision users who rely on screen readers. Improving accessibility typically requires surfacing the implicit visual structure (clusters, proximity, colour grouping) through alternative modalities such as hierarchical text outlines, auditory cues, or voice coding.
