Miro stands out with its features that could engage remote teams in brainstorming, processes, and decision-making thanks to its asynchronous and synchronous collaboration capabilities. It could be used for team projects in educational and research contexts. A teacher and students can work on the miro board to simulate the real-time classroom atmosphere. For example, a teacher describes in Miro's blog that he uses an article to read, a YouTube clip to watch, and a table in Google Doc to fill together with students in the Miro board. It seems that teachers can incorporate multimodal resources to set up the activities they want their students co-create.

Students may either come together to present synchronously on a video-conferencing platform or narrate their presentation with voice over and share it with others asynchronously. In addition, teachers can flip their classroom by screen-recording their slides and sharing with them prior to class.
