Abstract

Designing bespoke professional education programmes with clients and other stakeholders is always challenging. For instance, education providers must understand a client’s environment, including the intended audience, and agree with them on learning goals and the programme’s structure and content. In this paper, we present our extension to the online whiteboard Miro to collaboratively design professional education programmes with stakeholders in remote settings. We developed a lightweight modelling language covering the entire life cycle of professional education programmes and a visual notation to depict such programmes on a high abstraction level in Miro. Our approach allows the use of online whiteboards beyond informal modelling and makes them a primary tool for designing such programmes. It adds features to extract the underlying model, can deal with modelling flexibility of Miro and provides the basis for integrations with other tools. In particular, we describe the integration with a project management tool to assist with the enactment of design and management processes of professional education programmes. Additionally, we show the feasibility and discuss limitations of tool support for visual modelling languages based on the online whiteboard Miro.
