Using E-Mind Mapping in learning at Ibri College of Applied Sciences
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of Software based Mind Mapping (SMM) performed by tablets, mobiles, desktop, and web school work. The study determined the outcomes by using Electronic Mind Mapping (EMM) and the positive change in the students’ responses. The research was performed on 29 randomly chosen first year students from Ibri CAS during the academic semester year 2014-2015. The research took ITDR1101 as a random course as an application for the study. Three sets of groups were: self-selected study technique, paper and pen based MM and software based Mind Map(MM). The three groups were exposed to one of the presentations of the course ITRDR1101 course lessons for a 45-minute period. All the three groups were given a 30-minute time period to review and study the lesson materials using their own technique. They were requested to answer four structured open questions based on their technique for remembering the information presented in the class lesson.
