Revolutionizing collaboration in graduate school classrooms
Overall Satisfaction with Miro
I use Miro in a few different ways as a Master of Design student: - personal brainstorming and visual record of thoughts, tied with links/thumbnails to resources, and clustered within bubbles to create meaning and connection between them- collaborative group brainstorming (in-person, remote, hybrid, and offline)- drafting user experience maps and graphics for presentation/communication of ideas- visually recording thoughts/reactions from everyone during a meeting without dedicating airtime to every thought written on a "sticky note"
Pros
- simple toolbar that makes it easy for novice users to intuitively navigate (inclusive/accessible)
- ability to comment on / edit a board without needing to make an account (inclusive/accessible)
- It's very flexible and customizable, but there are also really great templates to fall back on and use if you're not inspired to create an organizational structure from scratch
Cons
- An integration with Zoom (I know there is a new partnership with Teams) would be nice
- adapting Figma's functionalities of making it really easy to make an 8.5 x 11 sized artboard, and an easy PDF export feature would be nice
- aligned with the point above, more templates and guidance on how to use Miro as a means of designing deliverables that can be put in a presentation or printed at the end of a project brainstorming process
- improved mental clarity when brainstorming
- streamlined alignment
- massively increased efficiency of remote and in person meetings
- allowed for a permanent bank of all brainstorming materials from the past (your progress never needs to be erased again!)
Even when we're in person, at the Institute of Design every project workflow starts with the creation of a Miro board. Whether we're in a meeting or not, it's a great common space to collect all thoughts, information, links, timelines, graphic brainstorming materials, sticky note dumps, related to a concept, and the features of being able to have all of those resources in one place that never needs to be erased or lost when email addresses change are amazing
