![]() ![]() Compendium’s system where all the sub maps are part of the same database is the better way to do this. Nodes can link to other CMAPs (in a similar way to Compendium) which is useful in splitting subject matter into neat bundles, however each new map is a different file which can lead to a proliferation of files. You extend the sheet by trying to drag something past the edge of the sheet, the sheet just grows to accommodate it. You can have multiple maps on one sheet, the sheet is extremely large, I kept placing nodes further and further out but I was unable to find the limits of the sheet. The links do have linking phrases and these can be linked to, so links can split and combine. Mind maps generally do not have link phrases.ĬMAP Tools can do both mind maps and cognitive maps but cognitive maps are easier to construct with this software. Sentences can be implied by the concepts and their linking phrases. Concept maps can have descriptions associated with their links to define the relationship between the nodes being connected. Mind maps are arranged as a tree hierarchy whilst concept maps are a network. However having laid out your map you can get the program to re-arrange it for you but once the program has re-arranged your map the only way back is to manually drag everything back to the way it was, undo doesn’t work for the layout.Ĭoncept maps are similar to mind maps but they have a different emphasis and use. The placement of nodes in CMAP Tools is completely manual. CMAP Tools is probably better at fast layout and capture of ideas but VUE is more expressive. I have not received any spam E-mail from IHMC.ĬMAP Tools is a good program but in my opinion for individual use VUE is even better. A portable version is also available which can run from a USB memory stick.ĬMAP Tools is free to download but you must first provide your details and a valid E-mail address. There are versions of CMAP Tools for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Compendium is the next best and it’s multi user facilities are not as good although it comes close in my opinion. Of all the programs reviewed here this one probably has the best facilities for supporting multiple users. ![]() It also has facilities for placing annotations on the map, making suggestions and setting up discussion threads (similar to a bulletin board or forum) to facilitate communications between separate users/viewers of the same map. ![]() There are several public servers which can store your CMAPs so that they might be shared with others and IHMC provides the server software so that you can set up your own private server so that maps may be shared within an organisation.ĬMAP Tools when used with the server software supports simultaneous collaborative editing of maps so that several people can edit the same map at the same time. In the documentation there is a heavy emphasis on collaboration and the sharing of maps. You can change the language in the Preferences panel once CmapTools is running.CMAP Tools is a concept mapping program from IHMC (the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition) in Florida. After installed, the program will launch in the language of your Operating System, or in English by default. ![]() This single CmapTools download includes the following languages: English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, French, Greek, Catalan, Euskera, Turkish, Swedish, Finnish, Estonian, Dutch, German, Chinese, Galician, Japanese and Czech.
