Miro rocks

Miro is a great tool that we have used in a variety of situations. When presenting online poster sessions allows our students and researchers to discuss and interact with academic posters in a very natural way, directing visitors to particular areas of their work and highlighting key points in much the same way that would happen in a real-life session. When collaborating with those at other universities lets us interact very naturally. We have also used Miro for brainstorming and project management within a small team, taking advantage of the fact you can continue to add ideas and work on solutions outside of actual sessions. What is nice is that it interfaces well with other tools (we use Slack for example) and is a great companion to Zoom calls. Most of my colleagues use the website but I also use the iPad app, which has the advantage of making it easy to mark up and scribble handwritten notes and add sketches to our Miro boards. I'm a bit of a Miro evangelist within our organization and haven't yet found anyone who doesn't like it.

I work with colleagues at Universities across the UK and Miro has helped us collaborate remotely in a way we've not been able to achieve before. We started using Miro as a good solution for remote working in the pandemic but will carry on using it because it is a good solution for this.
