Our platform is designed to unlock creativity, to allow individuals and groups to produce meaningful work through critical thinking, attacking complexity, challenging assumptions, and embracing curiosity. Our human-centered approach comes from our history in design thinking we’re constantly prototyping and iterating to come up with innovative features, services, and better ways of working. “Honestly, MURAL has completely changed what I thought was possible in remote learning.” – Christopher Durr, PhD, Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Amherst CollegeĪt MURAL, we believe that we are all imagination workers - people who thrive on collaborating with others from different backgrounds and disciplines to solve problems together. Over 4,000 schools & universities across the world are already using MURAL in their classrooms. We offer educators and students the opportunity to use MURAL at absolutely no cost and provide tools and training to help educators adapt their pedagogy and make the transition to teaching with MURAL as easy as possible. I believe MURAL is the platform for teachers and students to facilitate deeper learning in the modern classroom, one that is in-person, remote, or a hybrid of both much like the modern workplace. This has given me unique insight on the potential impacts technology can have on the classroom environment. As the Transformation Manager for Education at MURAL, I have had conversations with dozens and dozens of educators struggling to find ways to facilitate meaningful engagement and ensure that learning is taking place in virtual spaces where we are lucky if we can even see each other’s faces. For me, I became a remote worker learning a new job, an unexpected part time kindergarten teacher, and husband to a college professor trying to adapt her pedagogy to all Zoom, all the time. I have seen how challenging it is trying to engage students remotely and how impossible it can feel to make meaningful connections with the stresses of the pandemic on top of only seeing people through screens. The past year has been incredibly turbulent for educators who found themselves suddenly thrust into the world of remote learning.
