Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As part of my research interests, I generally deal with theoretical, historical, and philosophical topics that are hard to explain only with sentences. I use Miro to create charts to make the concepts, names, and their relations more concrete and understandable both in my doctoral research and teaching experience in the class.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Mapping
Collaboration
Integration

Cons

I would like to see more flexibility in creating charts.
I would like to see more templates in creating charts.
I would like to see a way to connect the connections itself with another line.

Return on Investment

More productivity in collaborative works
Time management
Clarity to explain something to outsider

Implementation Rating

I use the Miro for mapping properties and collaborative discussion in the class. It is very useful for basic tasks where the connections and implications are clear. But when it comes to complex connections, I found it restrictive in terms of the organization possibilities within the tools it provides to the user.

Ease of Integration

In terms of integration, I did not have any problems in my experience with Miro. This was partly because I was not using very complicated tasks. I am only using it for the integration of students on the topics that we are discussing and trying to articulate diverse approaches within a limited time.

Collaboration

In terms of collaboration, it was useful enough for me since the students were able to share their opinion on a shared whiteboard in the class. Especially, in the middle of pandemics, it was a unique opportunity to have such a platform where we can collaborate with students and colleagues productively.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is very useful for creating concept maps in a short time with rigorous and clear connections. Especially, when the task is collaborative, Miro saves time for everyone in the group. But when it comes to creating more detailed maps where the number of connections is high, its flexibility is not enough for such a task.
