Mural

It is set up as a multitude of virtual canvases or virtual whiteboards, where a team of people can add notes, pin images, pin files, draw, co-create, collaborate, and interact with each other in real time.

Mural is a fast, real time flexible collaboration app, that allows for teams to work simultaneously (multiusers editing a canvas at the same time) or asynchronously (multiusers editing canvases at different times). It is an effective tool/template that connects teams to work on their collaborative potential, therefore increasing innovation and cooperation between team members.

Mural is a versatile app that can be used for brainstorming, planning, and ideation; project design or development; strategy and project planning; organisation of collaborative meetings and workshops; or design research and analysis.

It has a user-friendly, clean, and intuitive interface, is quick to set up and simple to use for both beginners as well as experienced users. It offers a varied collection of previously-crafted templates that team members can use, as well as blank canvas options. It supports many file types that can be added to canvases (e.g., it allows for pinning images, gifs, videos, in various formats). It has many features that allow for varied interactions with multiple users, such as: summoning participants options, voting options, reactions (visual feedback based on emoji-type preface), laser pointer (to emphasise the part of the canvas the team is currently working on), facilitator lock, hide and reveal content and toolbar options, private mode, … Although the app itself only offers quick talk options (voice-only calls), it does offer seamless integration with various other applications and services that allow for teamwork (Microsoft Azure, Google Workspace, Adobe Creative Cloud, Zoom, Webex, …).

It can be used for brainstorming, planning, sharing ideas, research, task sharing, flowchart building, or diagramming, for example – when a mentor might give their students a task/project to work on, they could use Mural for project design, timeline building/Gannt chart, diagramming of the project, sharing ideas and feedback, task allocation, task sharing, resource sharing, … The mentor, as a facilitator, could have information about the project implementation and results readily available at all times and give their feedback at all times.
