Cmap Tools allows you to construct and share knowledge models using
concept maps. It allows users to, among many other features, construct
their Cmaps on their personal computer, share them on servers
(CmapServers) anywhere on the Internet, link their Cmaps to other Cmaps
on servers, automatically create web pages of their concept maps on
servers, edit their maps synchronously (at the same time) with other
users on the Internet, and search the web for information relevant to a
concept map. And it's free!!

including the consumption of homework formerly eaten by the dog.

Inspiration 8 is now available as a free for 3 days download. One major
difference is that Inspiration files in version 8 can be exported to
Word for further editing...

G'day
I've been putting this off for a LONG time but I finally had to face the
perplexing task 3 of ITA U4O1. Now that I know it has to be done with
software (thanks for the clarification, Paula!), I started with Word's
drawing tools and rapidly gave it up as a joke.
Then, Inspiration struck me literally. I've never used it beyond a 4
minute fiddle and a yawn, but I had a play today and it's quite nifty
for U4O1 task 3.
Attached please find a (rather large - 211K - apologies in advance) JPG
with an attempt at what I THINK the study design wants. Frankly, I'm
guessing madly about this.
I've only seen one other example of this sort of visualisation stuff (in
the Potts book) and was greatly underwhelmed by it. It didn't seem to
be showing anything about thinking or decisions.
Has anyone else thought about U4O1 Task 3? Is this how you see task 3
looking??
BTW I used Inspiration 6 (published 1999!) but it seems to do quite
well. The source file is attached too if you want to fiddle with my
starting point. Suggestions are more than welcome.
