    Hi Kristin and Jorian
    I don’t use Miro, so I’m not really able to compare. I have used JamBoard and StormBoard so I am familiar with some whiteboard systems. The great advantage of Sticky Studio is that it collects *connections* from participants and then can export the resulting network to Kumu for visualisation and analysis. Sticky Studio exports a JSON file that can be imported into Kumu to form an instant map. That process takes minutes and is especially effective if you have already set up a Kumu view that demonstrates sizing by centrality and colouring by type. We usually set this up with a set of scores that shows the number of nodes, number of connections and average degree per node. This allows us to take a short break in a workshop and then show the more sophisticated Kumu map based on the SS data.

    On Weavr – I’m still looking at that for building a Community of Practice and Exploration around network mapping (CoPEnet) in the UK funded by the Lankelly Chase Foundation. The biggest drawback, I think, will be that I can’t export the underlying Weavr map into Kumu. The Weavr website help says you can export data to Kumu, but I am still trying to find out how to do it.
