Collaboration Platforms

Digital Whiteboarding

Platforms like Zoom, Slack, and Teams all offer basic whiteboarding, but tend to be lacking when it comes to feature sets.  To improve the remote learning and collaboration experience, the Department of Architecture is exploring additional options.  The vendors of these platforms have made free educational accounts available to the Architecture community, and more info and applications for educational accounts can be accessed via the links below.  

You may be asked for proof of MIT Affiliation and Accreditation as part of the sign-up process for both Miro and Mural, and a picture of your MIT ID card will suffice for proof of affiliation, while the proof of Accreditation can be found here.

Explain Everything

Explain everything is an alternative to both platforms, and very recent offering from IS&T, that may fulfill some basic needs that Miro and Mural also offer. More information about the platform can be found at the IS&T Explain Everything Landing Page.
