CIT introduces online mindmapping tool

CIT has launched an online mindmapping tool for staff and students. This tool, powered by Mindomo, enables you to create mindmaps which can be accessed on the web, embedded in other websites, shared with other users and edited when necessary. An example of an embedded mindmap is shown below.



(The embed should ideally be placed on a page that is at least 550 pixels wide. It is cut short above as the post width is only 450 pixels.)

Many people already use pen and paper mindmaps to take notes, develop ideas and organise thoughts. With the online mindmapping tool, you can continue doing these, with the flexibility of editing and reorganising the mindmap to account for changes and updates.

Using the online mindmapping tool is simple. Go to the online mindmapping tool and login using your NUSNET credentials (username and password without the domain). Click 'New Map'.

From here, you can create a mindmap. It is easier to create the content in the mindmap first, then to format it, especially if the mindmap is complex. The tool allows you to add various graphics and hyperlinks to other parts of the mindmap or to external webpages. Using these features, the online mindmap becomes more dynamic and useful to you and those you share it with.

Please contact Mr for queries regarding the online mindmapping tool.
