Enable student collaboration, engagement and participation

Miro is being used at the College of Environmental Design, the University of California Berkeley as a tool for collaboration, presentation, and feedback from the start of the pandemic. It is currently used by undergraduate and graduate students in the Architecture program. It has been most effective for creating a sense of community, with students being able to collaborate and receive feedback on their work. The whiteboard allows for active engagement and participation in a remote format. Various courses (studio and labs) use it for presentations and crits. We have continued to use the platform even after switching to the in-person format. It has a clean and simple user interface and is easy to use. I had an issue with the number of team members that was sorted out very quickly by the Miro support team with the educational version. The support, response, and follow-ups are prompt and helpful.

Ours is an academic institution so it has helped in student collaboration and building a sense of community among the students who are typically working together in their studios otherwise. It has provided the opportunity for more engagement and participation.
