Overall Satisfaction with Miro
I am using Miro as both an Assistant Professor at an Architecture Faculty and also as a professional in architecture. It's been a blessing as someone who is working in a visual, drawing-driven profession. Students would "hang" their plans on the board and I could draw on them for correction as I would usually do on sketch paper at the university. The same goes for collaborating on projects with professionals worldwide. Furthermore, it's very useful as a digital pin or mood board for inspiration that can be shared with others. Miro has revolutionized the way we teach online/digitally for the last 2 pandemic years and I will for sure implement it into teaching once we are allowed to get back into the universities again.
Pros
- PRESENTATION OF PLANS
- BOARDS TO COLLECT AND ORGANIZE IDEAS AND THOUGHTS
- IMPLEMENTING VIDEOS + GIFS TO CREATE ONLINE EXHIBITIONS
- VISUAL COMMUNICATION IN THE ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL WORLD
- TIMER FOR PRESENTATION IS PERFECT
Cons
- HAS PROBLEMS WHEN ADDING PDFS
- AUTOMATIC PLAY OF GIFS WOULD BE NICE
- THE UI IS A BIT CONFUSING - MAKES IT A BIT TRICKY TO LEAVE TEAMS
- IMPROVES EXCHANGE OF IDEAS
- IMPROVES COMMUNICATION WITH STUDENTS
- IMPROVES COMMUNICATION WITH CO WORKERS
Without Miro teaching wouldn't have been possible in the 2 years of digital teaching in the architecture department. It was the perfect digital "twin" to the usual desk crits or presentations. Paired with an iPad or drawing board it made exchange through sketches and image drops very easy. In my point of view, it even improved presentations, because suddenly everybody was sitting in the front row and was able to follow the thought process of their peers. I was an assistant professor who wouldn't be able to fulfill my remote courses in this quality without Miro.
