Mind mapping

Description: MindMeister is an online mind-mapping tool that enables users to visually organise, brainstorm, and collaborate on ideas and concepts. Users can create mind maps by adding branches, nodes, and connections to represent relationships between ideas or elements. MindMeister offers various features such as text formatting, icons, images, attachments, and collaboration tools to enhance the visual representation of ideas. MindMeister was developed by a software developing team based in Munich, Germany. It offers both free and premium plans. Users have to sign up for a MindMeister account to create and edit mind maps, and collaborate with others. However, viewers can access shared mind maps without signing up for an account.

Evaluation: MindMeister is a valuable tool for users to create mind maps, brainstorm and collaborate. It can bolster creativity, organisation, and collaboration by providing a visual framework for capturing and structuring ideas. It is adaptable since it allows students to change basic elements, such as fonts or colours, and add icons, comments, and notes. With the free plan, users cannot export the final results but print them directly from the web. Average IT skills required.

Cost: Free with registration + paid premium and educational plans
