INTRODUCTION

Digital Mind mapping is a method of teaching

and learning, used to organize knowledge and concepts

in a simple way to grasp and contextualize the ideas.

Digital mind maps display the links between ideas,

words and information through the combination of text

and graphics. It can be utilized at all levels of education

and has proved to be appropriate learning resources for

talented and disadvantaged students. Adult learners can

able to make a connection between learned facts and

newly obtained information through digital

mind mapping [1]. Basically mind maps are developed

through paper and pen. Recently computerized versions

of mind maps became popular which also increased

learners’ level of interest in creating mind maps [2, 3].

So, it can be said that there are two types of mind maps.

First one is traditional mind map which is developed on

paper or board by hand. Another one is digital mind

map which is developed on computer, mobile or other

electronic devices through appropriate software. In

digital mind maps branches of ideas automatically

originate from centre part of the screen [4]. Digital

mind mapping software is used to construct diagrams of

connections between thoughts, ideas or other

knowledge. In contrast to traditional note-making, the

software of mind maps can enhance learning and study

performance. As a learning tool, digital mind mapping

software helps learners to express their ideas visually. It

can also transform boring concepts and ideas into

colourful, exciting and impressive flowcharts [5].

This paper describes different types of

software used in digital mind mapping strategy,

highlight the process of digital mind map development

through software and provide an overview of benefits

and usefulness of digital mind mapping software.

Concept of Digital Mind Mapping Software

Digital mind mapping is an effective

imaginative practice to formulate thoughts and

connections. Usually, digital mind maps are created in a

blank electronic page. Digital mind map has lots of

advantages: it is easier, portable and not limited to the

scale of the document, simple to save and share with

friends [6]. Digital mind mapping software compiles

our thoughts and ideas directly to something organized

and tangible manner which is quite common in today's

world. Digital mind mapping software is now used by

everyone. Doctors, professors, graduates, attorneys,

nurses, businessmen and others are using software

related to digital mind map, because digital mind maps

can be developed quickly through software [7, 8].

How to Create a Digital Mind Map through

Software:

Digital mind mapping is a teaching-learning

strategy for recording the free flow of ideas and is

commonly used to explore the topics. It may also be

used for the arrangement and aggregation of

information on a topic. Because digital mind mapping is

an imaginative activity, a digital mind mapping strategy

can vary according to the personal interests, resources

and projects. There is no "one way" to construct the

digital mind map, so if we use technology to build a

diagram, we have to follow a systematic process.

Step-1: Start with a blank screen.

Step-2: Fill the central idea or theme with the

central node. Write the brainstorming theme in the

middle.

Step-3: Brainstorm sub-ideas or linked ideas,

adding them to the screen. Write brainstormed

ideas / reflections on branches originating from the

middle.

Step-4: Draw lines for the association between

ideas and sub-ideas. Drag and drop the elements in

the diagram to reorganize our thoughts. Apply

more facts to each sub-idea. We can continue to

add more information in our digital mind map until

we are adequate.

Step-5: Use formatting tools to visually coordinate

and represent the ideas like modify colours, shape,

size, and add icons and pictures, etc.

Benefits of Digital Mind Mapping Software:

Digital mind maps are excellent instruments

for interpreting and transmitting thoughts, because

human beings can easily interpret visual knowledge.

Although we can construct mind maps on papers, but

using digital mind mapping software has several

benefits, such as [15, 16]:

 Software for digital mental mapping can be

used in institutions for studying and writing

across the curriculum. It helps to simplify the

information easily.

Dipak Bhattacharya & Ramakanta Mohalik., J Adv Educ Philos, October, 2020; 4(10): 400-406

 It encourages knowledge to be visualized or

viewed easier to understand by splitting larger

or more challenging concepts or theories into

smaller and simpler items.

 It gives learners the ability to engage directly

in the learning process by developing digital

mind maps.

 It contributes to the development of cognitive

skills such as brainstorming, analytical and

imaginative thinking, categorization and

concentration on content, reflection etc.

 It helps to retrieve past knowledge and easily

link it to new learning.

 It encourages self-learning. Students can

educate themselves with a lesson even more

effectively by the use of interactive digital

mind maps for note taking, interpretation,

learning, etc.

 It is flexible. By clicking and dragging, we can

quickly reorganize thoughts.

 Software allows us to construct mind map

digitally. Here, several people together can

work on the same mind map.

 We can use the design tools to create quality

diagrams that we can easily share and

represent.

Usefulness of Digital Mind Mapping Software:

Digital mind mapping software is a

brainstorming tool that helps us to construct visual

diagrams of our ideas. With the help of digital mind

map we can construct an idea map, a design map that

demonstrates the structure and relationships between

ideas. Digital mind mapping strategy requires basic

brainstorming software and complicated display and

diagramming tools. The usefulness of digital mind

mapping software is given below [17]:

 Brainstorming: Build mind maps – arrange

thoughts visually and show them.

 Diagramming: Build engineering graphs,

conceptual diagrams, construction plans, org

graphs, network diagrams, and other technical

diagrams.

 Software development and web design: Build

site map diagrams and wireframes.

 Business Intelligence: Import and show

interactive information in tables, graphs etc.

from market applications.

CONCLUSION

Digital mind mapping strategy is a modern and

powerful approach to recall information rather than the

normal way to read texts. From the above discussion it

can be said that digital mind mapping software can help

learners to improve their technical imaginative skills in

terms of the logical development of thoughts. Digital

mind mapping software can serve as an influential tool,

not only to improve students' self-confidence and

visualization skill, but also to provide quicker and

comprehensive ideas for their better conceptual

understanding.
