Objectives of This Online Mind Mapping Software Review. In this online mind mapping software review, we evaluated professional online applications that tend to be more productive because of their mind mapping and export features. We have selected MindView Online, Mindomo Professional and MindMeister Pro as they seem to stand out, but users may also consider free applications like MindMup or Wisemapping though they are very limited in functionality. With all of these applications, creating the mind map is much easier than the pen and paper method, and they all allow users to create mind maps fairly easily. Online mind mapping software is often used for brainstorming, running meetings, and storyboarding written documents or presentations. Therefore, this review is focused on features important to these areas. Both Mindomo and MindView Online are available in Desktop versions for PC and Mac, whereas MindMeister is a web / mobile application. There are some features included in all of these programs that are outside of the scope of this review. Interface. Our initial review showed that these 3 online mind mapping software program interface designs were very different. After some use, we found that both MindMeister and Mindomo shared some basic characteristics. MindView Online, however stood out in that it is designed to look, feel and function like a standard Microsoft Office application. This made getting started much faster in MindView Online as compared to the other tools. Building and Customizing the Map. Creating the mind map was intuitive in all 3 programs. The creation of the branches can be done in several ways by using dedicated interface icons or keyboard shortcuts. All 3 programs made it very easy to drag the branches to new locations, or reorder the topics. Both MindMeister and Mindomo allowed more flexibility on the placement of the branches than MindView. This was seen as a positive feature at first, but as the map grew, it became very cumbersome having to keep moving the branches to get the map to look balanced. MindView Online creates the map balanced at all times. When it came to formatting the branch colors, text and shape, MindView was the clear winner. MindView Online used a Design tab which affected the map globally, and a Format tab that was shown when a specific branch was selected which altered the selected branch. Both MindMeister and Mindomo have a properties inspector which did a nice job of organizing the necessary features, but it took too many steps for the desired results. The color picker was also somewhat tedious to work with, and in Mindomo, we were limited on colors that we could use for the branches. Branch Pictures and Clip-Art. Imagery is a core component to mind mapping and all 3 programs allowed you to add a custom branch picture to your map with a few mouse clicks. The images were all visually resized to look good in the maps and could be placed at any branch level. When it came to clipart, the programs varied a great deal. Both MindMeister and Mindomo had very basic and somewhat limited clipart, forcing the user to have to provide mostly their own imagery. MindView Online provided more than 2000 high quality category driven clipart images which proved to be extremely useful when creating a mind map. Map Views. Out of the 3 online mind mapping software programs reviewed, Mindomo offered the most view options, as well as the ability to change the map view at each branch level. MindMeister had the traditional views in most mind mapping software programs, mind map, left-right and org chart. MindView Online was limited with only the standard mind map view. Out of the 3 programs reviewed, the mind map view in MindView Online was more visually balanced and professional, although we would have liked to see a few other view options. Microsoft Office Integration. Mind mapping is all about productivity, and when it came to exporting the Mind Map into a meeting ready report or presentation, MindView Online provided the most robust integration with MS Word and PowerPoint. For this review, we have provided screenshots from the MS Word export from MindView Online and MindMeister, as they were the most comprehensive. All 3 programs did a nice job of converting the organic mind map structure into linear MS Word document. The big difference came when we looked at the customization options in MindView Online. Both MindMeister and Mindomo created the Word document using a basic style template, and required a bit of customization in MS Word to get it to look good. With MindView Online, it was a much more professional export experience and the creation of document was ready to go without any continued work. Mind Map Features. Mind Mapping requires the inclusion of supporting information on the branches in the form of text notes, file attachments and more. There should also be visualization features that allow a user to navigate a large mind map and present each topic in a clearly understood manner. Text Notes. All 3 online mind mapping software programs allowed us to take text notes on the branches. Each contained a nice text editor with the features you would expect, font style, size, color, bullet points, etc. Both Mindomo and MindView Online provided inline text creation with the full editing capability, whereas MindMeister allowed you to quickly type a text note, but you had to open an advanced text note editor to format the text. This proved to be cumbersome because you lost the overview of the map while editing the text, thus slowing down the mind mapping process. All in all, we felt that MindView Online had the best text note functionality due to the placement of the text not editor and the simplicity of formatting the text. Attachments and Hyperlinks. Adding attachments and hyperlinks is essential to the mind mapping process. Since the branches are simply main talking points, the addition of external links allows a user to provide detailed information to support the branch topic without overloading the user with additional branches and details. Mindomo and MindView Online had a more traditional method of adding this type of data. An interface icon launched a simple dialog for browsing or dragging and dropping a file attachment or hyperlink. Mindomo however required you to first upload the file as a multimedia object, then link to it, so it required 2 steps rather than just browsing for the file like we were able to do in MindView Online. Mindomo and MindView Online functioned similar and had favorable results when launching a file attachment. MindMeister utilizes their property inspector for adding attachments or hyperlinks. We found this to be a bit tricky to locate and cumbersome to use due to its size. When launching the file attachments, MindMeister had a nice feature that showed a preview of the attachment, but the text was not clear because it shows a smaller size preview. It also tried to open the attachment using Google Docs rather than the native program. Visual Customization. When customizing the map style, all 3 online mind mapping software programs had some nice features. Mindomo had a very simple-to-use floating tool bar that was launched when right clicking on a branch. You could quickly change the branch font, color, style, etc. As stated earlier, you can change the map view per branch which was nice in theory, but proved to be very time consuming to get the map to look balanced since some branches used a mind map view, and others used a top down view, etc. MindMeister used their property inspector, which had some presets, but again required you to open an advanced editor to truly customize the map. MindView Online had several professional map styles pre-made that you could quickly apply and see a live preview just by hovering the style. You also have quick access to the Design and Format tabs to change or customize the map and branches. Relationship Lines. Showing a relationship between branches is key to mind mapping. Both MindMeister and Mindomo allowed for customization of the relationship line’s color, etc. All 3 programs allowed you to customize the angle and direction of the lines. What stood out about MindView Online, is that when you create the relationship line, there is a dynamic link created as well. This is very useful in communicating a flow or process visually and interactively. The relationship was also transferred to the MS Word export creating a bookmark between the sections that were linked in the mind map prior to exporting to MS Word. Branch Focus / Filter.

Abstract Mind maps that combine text, images, color and layout elements, have been widely used in classroom teaching to improve retention, knowledge organization and conceptual understanding. Furthermore, studies have shown the advantages of using mind maps to facilitate collaborative learning. However, there are gaps in the literature regarding the use and study of collaborative mind mapping in online learning settings. This integrated-article dissertation explores the implementation of online collaborative mind mapping activities in a mathematics teacher education program at a Canadian university. The studies were developed with participants enrolled in three different courses where at least two of the online activities used collaborative mind mapping for knowledge construction.

  • Utilizing Mind-Maps for Information Retrieval and User Modelling
    Preprint, to be published at UMAP 2014. Downloaded from http://docear.org Utilizing Mind-Maps for Information Retrieval and User Modelling Joeran Beel1,2, Stefan Langer1,2, Marcel Genzmehr1, Bela Gipp1,3 1 Docear, Magdeburg, Germany 2 Otto-von-Guericke University, Magdeburg, Germany 3 University of California, Berkeley, USA {beel | langer | genzmehr | gipp}@docear.org Abstract. Mind-maps have been widely neglected by the information retrieval (IR) community. However, there are an estimated two million active mind-map users, who create 5 million mind-maps every year, of which a total of 300,000 is publicly available. We believe this to be a rich source for information retriev- al applications, and present eight ideas on how mind-maps could be utilized by them. For instance, mind-maps could be utilized to generate user models for recommender systems or expert search, or to calculate relatedness of web-pages that are linked in mind-maps. We evaluated the feasibility of the eight ideas, based on estimates of the number of available mind-maps, an analysis of the content of mind-maps, and an evaluation of the users’ acceptance of the ideas. We concluded that user modelling is the most promising application with re- spect to mind-maps. A user modelling prototype – a recommender system for the users of our mind-mapping software Docear – was implemented, and evalu- ated. Depending on the applied user modelling approaches, the effectiveness, i.e. click-through rate on recommendations, varied between 0.28% and 6.24%. This indicates that mind-map based user modelling is promising, but not trivial, and that further research is required to increase effectiveness.

  • How to Integrate Evernote with Mind Mapping Applications
    How to integrate Evernote with mind mapping applications Since its launch in 2008, Evernote has evolved into a powerful tool for taking notes and capturing all types of digital content. Its growth rate has been amazing; as of February of this year, it has over 50 million users, with 100,000 a day signing up for it. Developers of mind mapping and visual thinking applications have embraced Evernote, integrating with it in a number of different ways. In this report, I will provide you with an overview of the desktop- and web-based mind mapping and visual thinking applications that integrate with Evernote. I will describe how they work together and the pros and cons of each developer’s approach. As a writer, I have a strong personal interest in this topic. I have been using Evernote for several years as my primary tool for capturing content ideas. I also do a significant amount of writing within it, mainly because Evernote does a fantastic job of giving me instant access to all of my notes no matter where I go or what computing platform I’m using. I also find it useful for Evernote-Mind Map Integration Page 2 gathering research for reports I’m working on. Evernote’s web clipper enables me to quickly and easily capture all or part of any web page, tag it and store it in a folder of my choice. So naturally, for larger reports and projects, I’m keenly interested in developing new ways to incorporate the great content and ideas I’ve gathered in Evernote into my mind maps.

  • Profiling a Mind Map User: a Descriptive Appraisal
    Journal of Instructional Pedagogies Profiling a mind map user: a descriptive appraisal Joanne M. Tucker Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania Gary R. Armstrong Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania Victor J. Massad Kutztown University of Pennsylvania Abstract Whether created manually or through the use of software, a non -linear information organization framework known as mind mapping offers an alternative method for capturing thoughts, ideas and information to lin ear thinking modes, such as outlining. Mind mapping is used in education, government and business as a creative method that is useful in training, brainstorming, organizing and problem solving. This paper examines mind mapping techniques, advantages and di sadvantages of hand -drawn maps and using mind mapping software. Several mind-mapping software applications are compared on a number of product dimensions. Survey results provide a descriptive profile of mind map users in education, government and business sectors. Keywords: mind mapping, mind mapping software, mind map user profile Profiling a mind map user, Page 1 Journal of Instructional Pedagogies Introduction to Mind Maps The mind mapping technique, along with the term “mind map,” originated with popular psychology author Tony Buzan (1970), who developed the technique as a way of helping people to learn more effectively. His work is partly based on the pioneering brain research of the 50’s as well as left/right brain work by Roger Wolcott Sperry (1968) which was later refined by Robert Ornstein (1977). The bod y of this research indicates that the human brain responds best to key words, images, colors, and direct association. Buzan refined these ideas into a simple set of rules that can be followed to create a maze of information known as a mind map.

  • Project Schedule and Cost Management Using Mind Mapping
    Project Schedule and Cost Management Using Mind Mapping Harjit Singh 1 Why Mind Mapping? • Spotlight on the topic at hand • Radiant thinking – Human brain functions in a radiant rather than linear manner – A Mind Map literally ‘maps’ out your thoughts, using associations, connections and triggers to stimulate further ideas organically • Enhances memorization – The Mind Mapping process involves a unique combination of imagery, color and visual- spatial arrangement which is proven to significantly improve recall when compared to conventional methods of note-taking and learning by rote • Creativity through brainstorming – Encourages creativity enables the participants to generate new ideas in brainstorming sessions • Teaching – The visibility of Mind Mapping provides an effective approach for promoting better understanding in students – Example: http://www.biggerplate.com/mindmaps/HnaH WQ5X/business-economics-monetary-and- fiscal-policy Harjit Singh 2 Why Mind Mapping? – Contd. • Presenting – Enables presenters to present with confidence as they can better recall the information when needed • Planning and Organizing – Sandbox of ideas (Can help you plan and organize your thinking before you start writing or get stuck into a project) • Capturing Notes – Most mind mapping programs enable you to attach notes to the branches of your mind map • Group Collaboration – A Mind Map is an excellent tool for collaborating with others to develop plans or implement key projects. It allows you to harness the input of all members of a group in a dynamic and creative way. • Problem Solving – A Mind Map can help you think with greater clarity to explore relationships between ideas and elements of an argument and to generate solutions to problems.
