CMap

Hauptfunktion(en): Mind mappingGruppen-/Partnerarbeit - Mitschüler*innenEinzelarbeitStudentEigene InhalteWebsites/andere Nutzer*innen

CMap is a tool to create and edit mind and concept maps. Users can create and connect different nodes, label them, and change the font or size of letters, among many others. CMap does not require setting up an account for use, but it must be downloaded. It is developed by the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC) and is completely free. Bewertung: CMap is a valuable and easy-to-use tool with a professional-looking interface. Like other mind and concept mapping tools, it offers users the ability to visually organise and represent knowledge, which is essential for brainstorming and analysing complex topics, as well as facilitating language learning. CMap is highly customisable and can be operated offline, being well-suited for effective and asynchronous group work outside the classroom.

Kosten: Free without registration.
