How will students benefit?

Students can start with a blank canvas when designing a new mural, one of the numerous stock templates, or one of their own custom templates. Then they can begin adding and changing content, such as writing/drawing, icons, shapes and connectors, text and links on stickies, and so on. The element sizes, colours, and more can all be changed by students. An activity timeline, chat window, and comments window are all features of the user interface that allow comments on elements. 

By simply right-clicking and selecting the option, students can also turn specific mural parts into outline items, which they can then zoom in on by left-clicking on the outline. From the dashboard, students may access all of their rooms and murals. Murals can be downloaded, exported, set as favourites, or saved as new templates. Present material to your students using MURAL, and then afterwards have them work together to create their own murals.
