Mind map assignments

The mind map assignment functionality was specifically developed to help teachers guide students toward easy and engaging visual diagram creation. Teachers can add instructions or multimedia resources for inspiration and even attach mind maps that students can use as a starting point.

Use assignments to help students familiarize themselves with mind mapping, without necessarily having to sign up for Mindomo. Encourage collaboration while always keeping a clear overview of each individual contribution. Once students start collaborating, you get instant access to their diagrams.

Keep all students’ work in one place for easy assessment and offer real-time feedback. Create group assignments to promote teamwork and provide an alternative to conventional homework.
