Franklin Consulting
VUE - http://vue.tufts.edu offers some similar capabilities but without the
built in picutre library and is free.
Mind manager also allows the export of web sites (that is how I create
mine), but is mind mapping rather than concept mapping.

Tom.

> Subject: [VLES] Integrating an Inspirations output into a VLE
>
> One of the problems with VLEs is they tend to have a linear
> structure (resources are listed linearly) and although we can
> use folder structures to give some structure, with most VLEs
> as you navigate into the folder structure you lose site of
> the 'bigger picture' of where the resources are in relation
> to everything else.
>
> I have recently been running training at a few colleges with
> the Mind Mapping software 'Inspirations', and I have
> discovered that it is possible to use Inspirations to link
> learning resources together in a meaningful organised
> structured visual map, you can then package the whole thing
> up as HTML (and Inspirations will then take copies of all the
> resources in this
> process) and then upload the whole thing to a VLE.
>
> The advantages are:-
>
> 1) If you have a lot of resources to upload, this is actually
> a much quicker way of doing this
> 2) The learners have the resources arranged in a more meaningful way
> 3) As the whole thing is packaged in HTML, you can access the
> materials on any computer without needing the Inspirations software
> 4) If in the future your organisation ever changes VLE,
> rather than transferring 100s of individual resources, you
> would only have to transfer a much smaller number of packages
> 5) The packages could work offline, so if networks fail, you
> have some kind of a back up plan
>
> I have so far tested this with Moodle and Blackboard, and
> instructions for each are on my blog, links are below. I
> imagine that the process will work with other VLEs and with
> other Mind Mapping software, but I haven't had a chance to
> test them yet.
