Miro: Innovation and Collaboration

Introduction to Miro

Here is what Wikipedia says about Miro:

Miro is a collaborative online platform designed to support teams in innovation, planning, and execution across different locations and time zones. It is used for a variety of purposes, including brainstorming, agile planning, customer journey mapping, product design, and remote workshops.

This collaboration platform allows you to quickly get up and running through templates that can help you with meetings, ideation and brainstorming, research and design, Agile workflows, strategy and planning, diagramming and mapping, and presentations and slides among many other uses; and did we mention it is a collaboration platform. All backed with AI that can help you synthesize thoughts, meld the diverse into a cohesive group. It is a powerful tool for group work and it is useful for self-work/reflection. Being able to keep a Kanban board, mind map your issues, and diagram a process, there is so much that this application can do.

Faculty can share their boards to teach concepts, create interactive notes, and much more and then students (with free access) can comment on their boards.

Staff who are wanting to map processes, document change, and present interactively can use Miro to enhance their work.

This application is enormous and it is limited by your imagination so go and play
