Let's hear it for concept mapping

Peter – seems like a useful tool.  Will definitely have a closer look at this. Thanks.

Hi Peter, I think the disnction you have made between mind maps and concept maps is an important one and I agree the discipline of describing the relationship between entities is important, but I dont think its always necessary so  I like the idea of learning just one tool that can be used for both kinds of diagrams.Ive used Xmind http://www.xmind.net/ a bit and it seems quite easy to use.  Its similar to Cmap but seems to offer a greater variety of diagramming styles and more richly annotated diagrams if you need them, but it can also be used to produce simple mind maps.

I regularly use The Brain (http://www.thebrain.com/) during the design process, and occasionally as an instructional resource or activity.
