This year’s opening plenary will be driven by collaboration! Participants will use Miro to help support our work in the Design Thinking activities.
What is Miro?
Miro is a digital “whiteboard” platform we will be using during the Design Thinking activities to brainstorm and collaborate with each other.
How does Miro work?
New to Miro? No problem! You don’t need an account to use the tool. You will simply join the link the facilitator will share with you during the Symposium. If you want a quick primer on the tool, take a look at this quick three-minute video below. It highlights some key features we will be using during the Design Thinking Activities such as:
- How to move around the board
- How to zoom in and out
- How to edit a sticky note (we will do this in the TLS!)
- How to move objects around a board
- How to raise your hand
- How to Undo
Can I use Miro in my phone?
While there are applications available to use Miro on your mobile device, we encourage participants to use either a desktop computer or laptop to participate in the collaborative whiteboard activities.
Is Miro Accessible?
Miro provides documentation on their accessibility features. CTSI is committed to creating an equitable and inclusive community and as such, we strive to make our events as accessible as possible. If you require any accommodations during the Teaching & Learning Symposium, please email tls@utoronto.ca.
Where can I practice Miro?
Can’t wait for the Symposium to get your hands on Miro? Test out the tool using this optional ice-breaker tool.
