MindView is a mind mapping tool that lets you create and organise ideas. You can add text, images, colours and hyperlinks to your project.
MindView gives you the ability to explore any idea, make notes, plan tasks, and explore ideas and concepts and link ideas with each other.
Mind maps are often created on paper, but using MindView on the PC means that you can edit your mind map as you wish and add new ideas whenever you like.
Mind maps are great for group work, planning assignments or presentations, creating revision material, organising and so much more.
One great feature of MindView is that you can collaborate with other people on a project, meaning that it is an excellent tool for doing group work. It means that each person can add their own ideas and edit the project in their own time.
You can also import the mind map to Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel or add it to existing work should you wish to do so. The great thing about the Office integration is that you do not lose any of the data that you entered in MindView, it all transfers over for you. It will even transfer images and links to Word, PowerPoint or Excel.
MindView has a simple interface, and is very easy to use.
It has built-in templates, timelines and gantt charts.
If you are struggling, there are online videos and tutorials to help you along the way which can be found in the help section of the program.
You can also share your mind maps with others over email, but don’t worry, if they don’t have MindView, it comes with a free MindView viewer so they can view it on their own computer.
