The Collaborative Wall module now features two new backgrounds—one with columns and another with a world map—to inspire even more creative uses. Let’s take a closer look at these colorful and engaging additions!

Édifice is always attentive to its users, and your feedback on the Collaborative Wall has inspired our product teams. The result: two new backgrounds designed to expand the possibilities of this interactive and collaborative application.

A Column Background for Better Idea Structuring

To help you organize ideas more clearly, we have designed a new background featuring columns. This colorful layout facilitates the vertical arrangement of notes while maintaining the flexibility and creativity that make this collaborative tool so valuable. While the customizable note colors already allowed for sorting information within the Collaborative Wall, the new column background adds an extra level of organization.

With this column layout, the Collaborative Wall can function as a weekly planner, where students post a note each day—perfect for contributing to an artistic project, for example. If the collaborative activity extends across the entire school, each column can be dedicated to the work of a different class.

Enhanced Clarity and Readability with a Column Background

In middle and high school settings, this new structure enables students to organize their ideas by themes assigned to each column. In French class, for instance, columns can be used to categorize story elements, distinguishing characters, setting, and events. In philosophy, they can help organize arguments and counterarguments for a debate. In technology, they can break down the stages of designing a technical object.

In science, students can collaborate on a Collaborative Wall to analyze an experiment or scientific phenomenon. One column can be used for observations, another for hypotheses, and a third for conclusions.

A World Map Background for Geography-Based Activities

This enhancement also inspired another innovation: using the Collaborative Wall to illustrate geography or language lessons. How? With a brand-new world map background in Édifice’s signature colors! Notes can be freely placed on the map to indicate capitals, famous authors, national dishes, and more.

Beyond its obvious applications in geography, the world map background is also perfect for explaining biodiversity and ecosystems or teaching about great explorers to primary school students. This new visual aid can also serve as inspiration for interdisciplinary projects in secondary education, blending geography, economics, and modern languages.
