MIND MAPPING |
A Learning methodology that consists of drawing diagrams used to represent words, ideas, tasks, processes or other items. It is a non-linear way of organizing information and a technique that allows to capture the natural flow of ideas. Each idea or fact is written down and then linked by lines or curves to its major or minor (or following or previous) idea or fact, thus creating a web of relationships. Its purpose is to focus attention, and to capture and frame knowledge to facilitate sharing of ideas and concepts.
