Mindmap Content

On the Basic or Content tab, you are able to set:

  1. Title Make sure you use a meaningful title that summarises what the students are meant to do.

  2. Instructions Add general instructions for the students on how to interact with each other to generate free flow of ideas and relations.

Create the central mindmap topic

As a teacher, you may begin the central mindmap topics to use as guideline.

Advanced Settings

Use multi-user mode: when this option is selected, then all students in the class (or team) will be share the same mindmap. Otherwise, each student will create their own mindmap.

Learning Outcomes

Mapping learning outcomes to activities is very useful for curriculum mapping.

As with all activities in LAMS, you can map your learning outcomes to this activity. If you want to add a learning outcome, just search for the particular outcome or type a new one it will be added to your list of learning outcomes for the future.

You can search Learning Outcomes by code or name.

Reflection and End of Activity

As in all LAMS activities, you are able to get your students to reflect on the activity as soon as they finish. This is an important part of learning and research shows that it is when we reflect upon what we just learn that long lasting learning forms.
