MindView
Written by Michael Woodman
MindView is a mind-mapping software package; it is an excellent resource for learners who want to plan their essays visually, or create multi-sensory revision maps.
How it Works
MindView allows you to create large, colourful, multisensory mind maps, (or ‘spider diagrams’), so that ideas can be added in a non-linear way. Key ideas can be expanded on, and then rearranged to define the structure of an essay, the content of a revision map, the key points of a presentation, etc. Whatever content you are trying to create, MindView will simplify the brainstorming and editing process.
