Import ideas directly from Miro easily and quickly

Overview

By the end of this article you will be able to quickly add your freeform ideas from any Miro board into your learning designs. Importing from Miro is a fast, convenient way to help 'graduate' your initial ideas from workshops into a more fully fledged learning design in Coursensu.

This import method can only support Sticky Notes, which is intentional (supporting other objects may happen in the future, but from the outset, sticky notes tend to contain most 'valuable' content in Miro).

Import learning content, outcomes and resources - all the things you need to build a great learning experience. All of these can be imported directly from Miro. This is perfect for when you've finished ideating and you need to move your ideas into a more structured format.

Contains

• Start the import process - where to find the import feature
• Setting up (or check) your Miro connection - ensure the platforms can 'talk' to each other.
• Importing one or more sticky notes into your design - using the Miro import tool to convert Sticky Notes to Content Items.

Terminology

• Miro.com - a popular online whiteboard platform for freeform ideation.

Ready? Let's import your ideas and start turning them into learning designs 📒

Step: Start the import process - select import from the left menu (highlighted in image)

‍

Note: You need at least a destination section, as shown above (Section 1). This design is ready for the imported ideas from Miro.

Step: Select Miro from the list of Import options

‍

Step: Connect Coursensu to your Miro (or Reconnect, if needed)

‍

Note: Once initially connected, Miro import should always be 'Connected'. You can manage integrations via your account on Miro.com

Step: Select a Source Miro Board - this lists all the boards you have access to for import.

‍

Tip: Missing a board? Check your permissions and current team on Miro.com. If in doubt, try reconnecting and ensuring you have chosen the correct team.

Step: Check board contents on Miro (optional)

‍

‍

Step: Select the board and review all of the Sticky Notes (board contents) available for import.

‍

Step: Select individual, or all, of the Miro sticky notes for import.

‍

Note: Sticky notes are imported in the order you have selected them! You can rearrange the Content items later, on Coursensu.

Step: For Content: select the Target design section - i.e. where you want these items to appear in your design.

‍

Note: If you have no sections in your Coursensu design, you are unable to proceed with importing Content until you create one!

Step: For Purposes and Resources: select the corresponding Import type and it will convert your sticky notes into learning outcomes and/or the resources required for your learning design.

Tip: Import items to different sections by looping the process of 1. selecting, 2. importing, 3. clearing selection.Step: Check the imported items in your design!

‍

Finished. You now have your Miro boards connected to Coursensu, for rapid transfer between Ideation and Learning Design 🙌.

Next steps:

• Add extra detail in the Storyboard view
• Move items around and develop the structure
• Import learning outcomes and resources as well!
