Educators and learners can use different types of software to create digital mind map for teaching learning. The objectives of the paper are: to describe about different types of software used in creating digital mind maps; to highlight the process of digital mind map development through software and to provide an overview of benefits and usefulness of digital mind mapping software. It’s a review-based study. Articles published in various leading journals, conference proceedings, online materials have been referred in the present article. The first part of the paper describes concept of digital mind mapping software. Second part of the paper provides a brief description about different software used in creating digital mind maps. The third part of the article explains about the process of digital mind map creation through software. The last part of the paper elaborates benefits and usefulness of digital mind mapping software. It reveals that digital mind mapping software can be used by institutions/teachers/students for teaching and learning as it simplifies the information easily for better understanding. The article points out that digital mind mapping software gives learners the ability to engage directly in the learning process by developing digital mind maps. The paper also indicates that digital mind mapping software can be used as brainstorming tool to construct visual diagrams of ideas. The paper would be great use for educators as well as students for teaching, learning and assessment at different levels of education.

Digital Digital Mind mapping is a method of teaching mind mapping software is used to construct diagrams of and learning, used to organize knowledge and concepts connections between thoughts, ideas or other in a simple way to grasp and contextualize the ideas. knowledge. In contrast to traditional note-making, the Digital mind maps display the links between ideas, software of mind maps can enhance learning and study words and information through the combination of text performance. As a learning tool, digital mind mapping and graphics. It can be utilized at all levels of education software helps learners to express their ideas visually.

Basically mind maps are developed software used in digital mind mapping strategy, through paper and pen. Recently computerized versions highlight the process of digital mind map development of mind maps became popular which also increased through software and provide an overview of benefits learners’ level of interest in creating mind maps [2, 3]. and usefulness of digital mind mapping software. So, it can be said that there are two types of mind maps. First one is traditional mind map which is developed on paper or board by hand. Another one is digital mind map which is developed on computer, mobile or other electronic devices through appropriate software.

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.

  • Developing an Argument Learning Environment Using Agent-Based ITS (ALES)
    Educational Data Mining 2009 Developing an Argument Learning Environment Using Agent-Based ITS (ALES) Sa¯a Abbas1 and Hajime Sawamura2 1 Graduate School of Science and Technology, Niigata University 8050, 2-cho, Ikarashi, Niigata, 950-2181 JAPAN [email protected] 2 Institute of Natural Science and Technology, Academic Assembly,Niigata University 8050, 2-cho, Ikarashi, Niigata, 950-2181 JAPAN [email protected] Abstract. This paper presents an agent-based educational environment to teach argument analysis (ALES). The idea is based on the Argumentation Interchange Format Ontology (AIF) using "Walton Theory". ALES uses di®erent mining techniques to manage a highly structured arguments repertoire. This repertoire was designed, developed and implemented by us. Our aim is to extend our previous framework proposed in [3] in order to i) provide a learning environment that guides student during argument learning, ii) aid in improving the student's argument skills, iii) re¯ne students' ability to debate and negotiate using critical thinking. The paper focuses on the environment development specifying the status of each of the constituent modules. 1 Introduction Argumentation theory is considered as an interdisciplinary research area. Its techniques and results have found a wide range of applications in both theoretical and practical branches of arti¯cial in- telligence and computer science [13, 12, 16]. Recently, AI in education is interested in developing instructional systems that help students hone their argumentation skills [5]. Argumentation is classi- ¯ed by most researchers as demonstrating a point of view (logic argumentation), trying to persuade or convince (rhetoric and dialectic argumentation), and giving reasons (justi¯cation argumentation) [12].
