MindManager supports digital learning
Students use their created knowledge boards to search for relevant information, media (video, audio), websites and research articles. They then visually rearrange and synthesise their discovery data into logical, ordered knowledge, ready for use.
Students use their knowledge boards to export their work into Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, ready for assessment or presentation. Learners can present and encourage class collaboration in discussing projects and class work.

You can learn so many new skills
The methods of mind mapping are tried-and-tested and have been implemented in learning methods (Tony Buzan). Whereas plain text is processed by the left half of the brain – which is associated with language, logic and numbers – the structures, colours and images of mind maps activate the right half of the brain – which is responsible for the visual imagination.
I use it personally to organize almost everything I plan. Probably the most productive has been the application to the authoring of a textbook on a complex topic – Building Information Modeling. MindManager allowed me to not only organize the structure of the book but also to write the majority of the content in that structure and export it to Word for the final editing. Due to the complexity of the subject, the flexibility of MindManager was crucial in allowing the continual evolution of the final structure of the complex content without losing any of the text that was part of the project at any point in the process. The content could be refined without being concerned about the location in the structure and moved as needed to any other part of the organization of the overall project.
