rv - I only see links on images to non-notable software. Why none for the notable too? Why do we need multiple links at all?
Returned image links. Ronz issues of notability are vague, untrue, and based on his personal criteria. Feel free to make the links into "name=" multiple footnote links to the same footnote.

Revision as of 10:35, 12 June 2007

Mind Mapping software is used to create diagrams of relationships between ideas or other pieces of information. It has been suggested that mind mapping software can improve learning/study efficiency up to 15% over conventional note taking (Farrand et al,2002).

Some Mindmapping software is 3-D, though full 3-D functionality is difficult to achieve with the forms of interface devices readily available to users. Some Mapping programs incorporate other learning optimization techniques including electronic flashcard style testing.

The following is a list of Mind Mapping software.

Open-source software

There are a number of free/libre/open-source software that allow the creation of, or otherwise support mind maps.
