Abstract: A distribution control apparatus is connected to a communication terminal via a network. The distribution control apparatus includes a receiving unit, a whiteboard control unit, a whiteboard unit, and a transmitting unit. The receiving unit receives, from the communication terminal, operation data representing an operation performed by a user.
