Visit soa.conceptboard.com to access the School's Conceptboard instance. Please refer to Join Syracuse Architecture Conceptboard Team.

Conceptboardis a virtual whiteboard tookit. It is the recommended online visual collaboration platform by the School of Architecture. Conceptboard allows students and faculty to mark up files, participate in online pin-ups and reviews, and collaborate on design. It can be used for project brain storming and for conducting design workshops. The platform's collaboration features include live pointers, a moderator mode, and an easy way to share boards with external guests and critics. This platform also features over 100 templates to kickstart the collaborative process.

Conceptboard has a built-in web conferencing tool, but please use Zoom or Teams instead. (The built-in tool has severe usage limitations and can cause excessive overage charges that the school cannot afford.) Use Conceptboard in conjunction with Zoom or Teams--have participants login to both so that you can see their faces and contributions at the same time.

  • Check out this performance tip sheet (PDF).
  • The maximum file upload size is 10mb.
  • When boards become very large, the performance of the boards may suffer. For example, decisive factors are the number of elements or how far away individual elements are on the board. This has to do with the fact that displaying this amount of data is too much for one's Internet connection and browser. On the other hand, it can happen if the objects are huge (appear relatively large at 1% zoom instead of tiny).
  • In general, we recommend creating boards with about 100% zoom level (you can zoom in up to 800%).
  • In addition, large boards could be divided into several boards. Only the part that is currently visible in the browser is loaded. Therefore, it can also help to define sections and set a small section as the starting area.

Troubleshooting

  • When using the Invite tab under the Sharing feature of a board, you may notice that it doesn't find a name. Try typing the name but do not hit enter--just wait about 5-10 seconds and then the names should pop. This is due to the large size of the school team.
  • If you are missing the Pro features, make sure you are signed into the school account and not a personal Conceptboard account. To verify, click your profile badge and look for the 'Pro' label next to your name.
