Mind Maps

Course description

Mapping your ideas is a creative way to organise your thinking.  There are a range of tools such as concept maps, mind maps or idea maps.


These mapping techniques are used all over the world by students, teachers, researchers and business as a way of improving learning and increasing activity.  

They can be used to:

  • Organise your ideas,
  • Structure a paper or report you need to write,
  • Prepare for a presentation, or
  • Record brainstorming sessions.

They are effective, easy to use and most of all FUN. 

In this workshop, you will learn by doing.  You will see how a mind map is created and then create your own using your own topic. 

The workshop will include opportunities for you to use mind mapping with your own project.  So bring along your ideas (and some coloured pencils)!
