Inspiration

Inspiration is a powerful visual thinking and learning tool that students can use to plan, research and complete projects. The software is easy to use and will particularly appeal to those who already use mind maps to plan or employ visual learning strategies.

Once a mind map has been created the user can build, refine, add detail and organise it to produce a structured, logical plan. The integrated Diagram and Outline Views possible in Inspiration mean that once the learner is happy with the plan it can be viewed in an outline format which can be expanded into an essay or report.

Inspiration is available on PCs in the university computer labs.

The software can be found on all networked University computers via the START menu or via the Software Centre.
