What they say:  " VISUAL CONCEPT is 'Visual Thinking Software'; providing a medium for all kinds of creative and systems thinking. It enables ideas to be developed as a basis of planning, designing, authoring, organising, relating, mapping, scenario building and countless other activities.
It enables you to easily structure ideas and print them out, communicate them, transfer them and relate them to other visual maps with links to ideas expressed in any Windows environment. VISUAL CONCEPT helps you capture large amounts of information and create knowledge maps either as ideas occur to you or as they are extracted from audits, meetings, lectures or texts."
Observations:  This could not easily be considered mind mapping or concept mapping as it uses hexagons, but it does represent an individual approach. In May 2007, the last change to the front page of the site is marked Last modified: Tuesday, 09 September 2003.

Concept maps and web research

For me, web research and concept maps are a good pairing. As I research - I build a map. As I map - I realise new areas that need research.
This papers variously by Arguedas, Cañas, Carnot, Carvalho, Dunn, Eskridge, Gram, Leake, Maguitman, Muldoon and Reichherzer have helped me to understand why, and see other possibilities.

Assessment by concept map

This piece discusses the nature of knowledge, the difficulty in measuring achievement in the three types of domain knowledge, and how concept maps offer one way of judging students' knowledge structure.

Framework for mind mapping

Here is a link to a set of free templates for many types of mind maps. This is good solid stuff, and if you have MindManager, there's no reason not to get it.
But if you don't have MindManager, well, there's still no reason to hold back - go and pick up the MindManager Viewer from MindJet's site. That is also free.


Knowledge mapping for communities

Here's an interesting slideshow in which authors Simon Buckingham Shum and Alexandra Okada make a case for a move away from text towards knowledge or mind mapping presentation in a knowledge community. Their objective is to change cognition, no less.
