Pencil Spaces

Pencil Spaces is a virtual classroom platform designed for educators, particularly those involved in tutoring. It addresses the challenge of managing online lessons by combining video calling, a collaborative whiteboard, scheduling, attendance tracking, and analytics into a single browser-based application, eliminating the need to switch between multiple tools.

The platform's core offering is its virtual classroom, which includes an infinite collaborative whiteboard, integrated video and audio communication, screen sharing, and a library of over 50 built-in apps and resources. It also features an advanced scheduling module for bulk lesson scheduling, automated attendance tracking, and engagement insights that show student participation. Pencil Spaces integrates with learning management systems like Canvas via LTI 1.3, as well as tutor management platforms such as Wise, Teachworks, and TutorCruncher. It also supports content imports from Google Drive and OneDrive, and offers API and Zapier integrations for custom workflows.

Pencil Spaces is aimed at individual tutors and educational organizations. It offers a free Starter plan and a 14-day free trial for paid plans. Paid plans are usage-based, billed per session hour with a monthly minimum, and include Pro, Expert, and Master tiers. An Enterprise plan with custom pricing is available for larger organizations.
