![]() You may prefer your mind maps to be top-down, right to left, or a number of different configurations- you can change this, along with the colour scheme using the design tab on the task ribbon.Ī simpler way to quickly change the map’s layout can be seen by pressing on ‘MapView’ (to the right of ‘Numbering Schemes’) in the ‘Home’ section of the task ribbon and choosing from the drop down options. I did this using the ‘Numbering Scheme’ button in the task bar at the top of the page. I decided to use a numbering scheme for this task, which I don’t usually for my revision mindmaps, but I found this to be a useful way of keeping me aware of which points came at the start and end of this mind map. For example, a lab report or engineering project will have different components, try to separate these components into their main chunks if you can. This may be different depending on your course area. I named the central theme, then started mind mapping the kinds of tasks I needed to do. I decided to make this one based on an essay I have due soon. For any help with this or any other MindView functions please visit for video and pdf tutorials on how to use many DSA provided assistive software kits. This post assumes the reader has a basic working knowledge of creating a basic mind map in MindView 6. then feel free to completely disregard this feature! If this isn’t helpful for you in terms of dates of completion etc. In this case, a way to get around this would be to compile your smallest tasks into a subheading underneath your main branches, and assign your larger tasks to the primary branches. Use this with a pinch of salt however, because it automatically gives equal weighting to all tasks- something which most students know is not the case! You may end up with one section taking a week, and another taking a few hours. This feature allows you to mark down when you completed a certain section of an assignment, which is then taken and analysed in comparison to the amount of tasks still to do. This means if something pops up unexpectedly you just create a new section for it, and adjust your timeline accordingly.įurthermore, the ability to view a % completed bar can be really motivating and helpful for some students. This can be a useful, visually accessible way to plan your time that is easily customisable and (this is the useful part), at any point during the process, rearrangeable. In today’s blog post I’m going to discuss one way in which you can use MindView’s ‘Timeline’ feature for planning an assignment. ![]()
