What they say:  " IT is like a super version of a concept map program --> designed to heirachically manipulate sets of diagrams - effectively a set of notes!
Easy sounds - Record your own voice as an MP3 (have a sing along!) or import sound files so that you have sounds to go with your interesting, image filled diagrams!
Your sets of diagrams/concept maps can be arranged heirachichally in a 'knowledge tree' so that you have any amount of structure you want!
AND like a super version of a flashcard program
Tracks your results and then tests the things you are weak on more, skipping revising things you don't need to - saving you time as part of the study method.
Gives you estimates of how long you are going to have to study for to revise the material.
AND the ability to drag sets of diagrams from one place in your notes to another!
Simple search facilities
Input of any file type into RecallPlus notes - stored in RecallPlus structured way.

What they say:  " Collect, organize and share information with I-Navigation. You can use the program for mind mapping, notes taking, studying and learning, project organization, planning, decision making, presentations and creating summaries."
Observations:  Cool mind mapping software with intuitive navigation. Many export functions - the Webmap is particularly good. It doesn't seem to recognize Office 97, so to use Word and Ppt export you'd probably need a later version. The oval area is to allow easy moving around (it simulates the surface of a sphere) but I'm always looking to see more of my mindmaps on screen. Losing the corners is partly compensated for by the ease of navigation though.

Mindmapping helps you be creative AND get things done

I've seen comments from people who have looked at mindmapping but never used the technique: "I never know what to do with the mindmap once I've got it." Well, here's one answer.   [Vic]

Mindmapping can remove creativity blocks

Here's a view of creativity worth reading. It mentions mindmapping only briefly but it does provide a hint to one of the ways around creative blockage. I've added one of my own at the foot.   [Vic]

Crack the barriers to creativity

Mind mapping can help with creativity – it frees you from the rigidity of lists for example – and with its visual approach stimulates alternative ways of viewing a problem. But here, Joann adds a barrage of other techniques to help you crack barriers to creativity.   [Vic]

Basic introduction to mindmapping

I didn't see why this shouldn't work all the year round. No need to wait for the New Year - here it is.   [Vic]

Mindmapping for the quick-witted

This is a good, quick description of what mindmapping is, when applied to its use for note taking. It’s a little short on specifics and examples, so you’ll have to browse further on mind-mapping.org for those.   [Vic]
