MURAL IN THE CLASSROOM
We have a great Template library to get you started using MURAL with your classes:
Take notes collaboratively and creatively. This template was born out of frustration with the droning, one-sided nature of Zoom lectures. It’s a space to take notes collaboratively with your classmates and friends, designed to run parallel to a lecture, but adaptable to a variety of settings — breakout rooms, reading a book with your friends, etc. Write what you hear, ask questions, explore related ideas. This template will help you bring interaction and conversation into lecture classes. There’s space to both take notes and synthesize them. It’s an interactive space with enough structure to guide you, and enough freedom for you to make it your own.
