Inspiration
This is a visual tool for planning and developing ideas through the creation of concept maps. The map is easy to construct; information can be added by clicking on relevant branches and use of colour makes a distinction between different areas/topics. In addition: notes, pictures, diagrams and links to internet resources can be built-in. Once the map is complete it can be put into linear form in preparation for structuring the assignment.
