Abstract
Abstract This paper presents an extension of the mind map pedagogical tool, a conception in which the mind map becomes interactive and dynamic. We took advantage of all the mind map’s learning potential and benefits, and we add new ones when we propose the interactive mind map tool. We develop a model in which the teacher would have an authoring tool for creating a mind map with its elements, relationships, and interactive content related to each map element. The proposed tool is rich media, as it incorporates different types of media, allowing it to reach students with different learning profiles and needs. Furthermore, the technological aspect brings the school closer to the student’s reality.
Highlights
We live in a digitally integrated world, and we are immersed in countless technologies through which we deal with an immense amount of information
We summarize the main findings of this study, which we will later develop with further details: We performed a mind map survey in which we concluded that a mind map is a pedagogical tool with several applications and benefits that favors active learning, creativity, critical thinking, collaborative work, among others; We concluded that it is possible to aggregate value on integrating the mind map tool to interactivity and technology, increasing the tool’s potential and possible achievements
We developed an implementation model and a prototype for the interactive mind map to serve as a proof of concept, which has confirmed our hypothesis of adding more advantages to the tool and bringing it closer to the student’s technological reality
Summary
We live in a digitally integrated world, and we are immersed in countless technologies through which we deal with an immense amount of information. The data visualization area emerged to deal with many problems arising from the volume of data we manipulate in our daily lives, providing objective and intuitive visualization techniques. This work proposes using data visualization techniques to create a new approach for the mind map pedagogical tool, a new conception, a technological extension in which the mind map becomes interactive and dynamic. It is a model for developing an authorial tool in which the teacher can build interactive mind maps as pedagogical resources for study contents, which apply to several areas of learning
