Additional notes

  • Use your @torontomu.ca account (no personal Gmail addresses, please!) to log in to all services before accessing any links. This will give you access to exclusive content.
  • You can sign up for a free Miro pro account without limits if you choose (it takes Miro staff a day or two to authorize). You could also use a basic account. Either way, use the Google login option and your @torontomu.ca credentials.
  • If you run into any issues when using the hyperlinks in this tutorial, right-click on the hyperlink, copy the link URL and paste it directly to your browser.
  • You can find the templates demonstrated throughout the module in this Miro board (password is kairos). If you get stuck creating your brainstorming, evaluation, or project proposal elements, you can make a copy of any of these elements for your use. To do so, use the arrow tool to select what you need and paste it into a new Miro board that you create under your account. Please do not edit the template directly, as this is a shared document!
