Create concept and mind maps for organising, planning and presenting your ideas.

This powerful visual mapping tool inspires users to develop their ideas, while planning and structuring workflow. Interactive diagrams, charts and reports help organise and prioritise concepts and information. Use it in the classroom, at home or in the work place for making notes, understanding concepts and drafting essays, reports or presentations.

Creating and modifying concept maps, webs, idea maps and other graphic organisers is made easy, with an intuitive interface that focuses on the creation and delivery of work, not the organisational structure behind it. In the powerful Outline view, users see their ideas in list format, so they can quickly prioritise and rearrange ideas.

Education site licences are now available. Prices start from £550.
