How to create a Miro virtual white board from a drill
Create a Miro board from a drill's template, for each team, duo or individual in a virtual or hybrid session, or for an on the fly drill.
Many drills come with a Miro template. The Next Lab can copy that template into a new board in your Miro account. In a virtual or hybrid session, you get a board for each team, duo or individual.
Before you start
- You need a Miro account. The first time, Miro asks you to sign in and allow SolveNext to create boards.
- Only people who can edit the session can create boards. Other participants see the Miro link once a board exists.
- Miro is the only virtual whiteboard tool currently offered.
Steps (in a session)
- Open the session and use the ... menu to click Edit. Set Session format to Virtual or Hybrid. Enter the number of Individuals, Duos and Teams, and save.
- Make sure the session agenda has drills. Click Add drill on the session page to add them.
- Click Play. The play view opens in a new tab and creates the virtual posters.
- Click a drill in the agenda to expand it. Depending on the drill's format, you see one card per team, duo or individual, or one card for the whole group.
- Click a card's name to expand it, then click Miro.
- If asked, sign in to Miro and approve access. A new board is created from the drill's template and opens in Miro.
- The link is saved. Next time, Miro opens the same board.
Steps (on the fly drill)
- In Drill library, open a drill and click Use drill now, then Save.
- On the drill page, click Miro.
Tips
- If you change the number of teams, duos or individuals, save and click Update virtual posters in the play view.
- Click the edit icon next to a card, or Edit name, to rename the boards for your participants.
- If the Miro integration is not available, the page shows a message and a video. In that case, print the drill's posters as a PDF and upload them to your own Miro board. If you need help with this, contact SolveNext support.
