Coggle is a tool for organising and sharing information. It allows users to create mind maps and flowcharts for individual or collaborative use. Users can also upload links and images to accompany notes. Coggle offers a limited yet comprehensive free version. It requires having an account to create content. Evaluation: Coggle is a great resource for studying individually, or for brainstorming as a class or in small groups. It is user-friendly and straightforward.

Users have control over their diagrams' privacy settings and can choose whether diagrams are public or private. They can also close their accounts to delete personal information.
