Mind map assignments for students

The mind map assignment functionality allows you to learn new things in an engaging way and better understand school subjects. Teachers can guide you by adding instructions or multimedia resources for inspiration.

With this functionality, it is easier to organize your learning activities and homework, keep everything in one place, and ensure it is always clear and concise.

By adding keywords to diagram topics, you will retain information for a longer period.

Joining Assignments

To access the assignment created by the teacher, you have the following options:

Joining with an Existing Account or Creating a New One

You will join the assignment using the email and password of your current Mindomo account. If you do not have an account yet, you can provide an email address and set a password. A new account will be created for you, and you will be able to work on this assignment and other mind maps as well.

Join with a Temporary Account (Without Email)

You will get exclusive access to the assignment using your name. At first access, you will be able to enter your name and set a password. Each time you want to return to the assignment, go to
https://www.mindomo.com/join,
use the assignment access code, and enter the name and password you initially set. If you forget your password, you can ask the teacher to reset it.

Alternatively, the teacher can create a username and assign a password for you. You can use them to log in to the Mindomo account, where you will see the assignment.

Working with Assignments as a Student

You can complete assignments individually or in groups. You can create a diagram from scratch or use a diagram attached by the teacher as a starting point.

When the teacher creates the assignment, there are different options available. Depending on the assignment type, you can:

1. Create individual diagrams from scratch
2. Create individual diagrams from a template chosen by the teacher
3. Work collaboratively on a new map (all students in one group or in different groups)

Create Individual Diagrams

When the teacher shares an assignment, you can view the requirements and add comments to discuss the assignment with the teacher even before you start working on it.

If the teacher selects the option for individual work, this panel will appear after you click on the Assignment menu.

Attach an Existing Diagram

Click on a diagram, then click Add to choose an existing diagram.

Start with a Brand New Diagram

If you want to create a new diagram from scratch, click directly on Start Assignment.

You will be automatically taken to your new diagram, which you will build starting from a predetermined central topic.

Continue the Assignment

After attaching a diagram or working on a new one, you will see this page.

If you click on the menu, the Assignment Overview panel will display the following options:

1. Grade – View your grade or have a private discussion with the teacher by adding comments
2. Attach a diagram
3. Detach current diagram
4. Help – Access the Help section to learn more about assignments and how to use them as a student

Attach a Diagram

Choose this option if you want to attach a new diagram. Your previous work will be detached from the assignment and will remain available in the Dashboard.

Detach Current Diagram

Choose this option to detach the diagram currently attached to the assignment. The diagram will not be deleted and will remain accessible from the Dashboard.

Restart the Assignment

From this page, you can restart the assignment.

Restarting the assignment will reset your initial work. The original diagram will be detached from the assignment and remain available in your Dashboard.

The new diagram created after restarting will be available only within the assignment and will no longer appear in the Dashboard.

Collaborate on Assignments

When the first student clicks Start Assignment, a panel will appear allowing the student to create the first group.

After the first group is created, when other students click Start Assignment, the Groups panel will appear. Students can:

• Join an existing group
• Create a new group

After selecting an option and clicking Start, students can begin working on the assignment.

If the teacher sets a maximum group size (for example, 4 students), once a group is full:

• The group will remain visible but cannot be joined
• Students must join an incomplete group or create a new one

For group assignments, students cannot attach individual diagrams. Instead, they must create a new diagram and work collaboratively with their group.

When returning to an assignment, students can view the progress made by their group members.

In case of a restart, the diagram is detached only for the first student who created the group.

Grading and Feedback

You can easily submit your homework for grading and review your work and the teacher’s feedback directly in the Mindomo app.

Click the A+ button to open the grading page, where you can see the grades assigned by the teacher.

You can also add comments and ask questions if you need additional clarification to complete the assignment.
