We have Inspiration on the student and staff image here; useful for many
students and staff, not just those with spld/processing difficulties. I
like it because it has a good word lookup function, can hyperlink to
import info into the mind map, can convert a mind map into a sequential
structure/spine of an essay, can transfer the mind map structure into
Word, with and without mind map diagram, and it talks to you!
It also has a wide range of visual templates (appropriate to different
disciplines) which can help students structure the mass of ideas
bouncing around inside their heads into a logical format, plus a lot of
other useful functions.
Hope this helps

Subject: Mind mapping at SET institutions
Dear colleagues.
Happpy New Year. We're at the point of purchasing a site license for
mind-
mapping software and two particular products have been suggested.
Could colleagues tell me which mind-mapping products they use on their
networks? In particular, do colleagues within Science, Engineering and
Technology (SET) institutions find certain mind-mapping applications
more
suitable than others?
Please note, I'm not after quotes from software supplliers at this
stage.
Very grateful for your feedback.
Kind regards
Michelle
