Increase Whiteboard Visibility
When sharing their screens, Tutors in virtual tutoring sessions can increase whiteboard visibility & text size to students by:
- Clicking the Share Screen icon in the control bar.
- Choose the option to share a tab instead of your full screen and select the tab.
- Next, go to the tab you're sharing and increase the Zoom or magnification.

- Once you are sharing your screen to the whiteboard (above), return to your Epic! tab via (https://www.getepic.com/), and use the controls there to change the size of the book. There are two icons on the bottom right: a magnifying glass icon and a full-screen icon.
- Magnifying glass: Zoom in and out as needed.
-
Full screen: Slightly increase the size of the text in the student’s view.
Note: When using both of these tools at the same time, the book may not display properly on the whiteboard, so be sure to deactivate either the zoom or the full-screen function if any issues occur.
- Highlight and increase the size of individual words by hovering over them with your cursor in the Epic! tab. These size increases will be reflected on the whiteboard.
Note: The tips shared in this section (Increase text size in Epic!), applies to the EPIC Reading platform found via this educational site (https://www.getepic.com/). Tutors may have used this site previously in alignment with a specific curriculum and related subscription provided by Littera.
