Miro

Miro can best be described as an online collaborative whiteboard.  It can be used for brainstorming or organizing thoughts and strategies and has a similar feeling to a group covering a wall in sticky notes. To aid groups in their virtual collaboration it also has video & audio conferencing functionality built into it so users don’t need to be on a separate call to communicate with each other.  Miro is a great tool to keep brainstorming organized and allows users to work asynchronously in one communal space.  It contains a rich integration library with other pieces of software and comes with various presets for different workflows. Free users are limited to 3 active boards.  

COST:

  • Free accounts can create 3 boards, but anyone can contribute to a board

  • Paid version scales from $10 – $20 / month / user

Twine

Twine is an open-source visual coding platform for creating interactive stories online. At its most basic it serves as a way to craft a story that requires user interactivity to experience. You don’t need to have coding experience to create stories in Twine but the possibilities open up with some knowledge of HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

Twine is a great option for prototyping branching narrative and nonlinear storytelling as well as experimenting with interactive user experiences. The level of interactivity ranges from simply clicking to trigger the next portion of the story – similar to flipping the page of a book, to something more akin to “choose your own adventure” novels or text-based video games.

COST: Free
