I used to do this through pen and paper but now, with Ayoa I can do this online! Available both online and as a phone app, Ayoa allows you to create mind maps for free. It is a multilingual service, available in both English and Welsh where you can create as many mind maps as you want to help with multiple different projects or even if there is one plan that you want to split up further.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"361\" height=\"542\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Ayoa-Screenshot-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Ayoa-Screenshot-1.jpg 361w, https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Ayoa-Screenshot-1-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 361px) 100vw, 361px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Features provided within the app include the ability to begin a mind map from scratch or select from one of the pre-created templates. Within this you have full power over customisable features for example, you can add unlimited branches from your centre title and colour code these according to your project and what makes sense to you! You can also fully edit font and text size as well as the sizes and shapes of each box and change the colour of each branch. If you even decide that a series of ideas and branches need to be a different colour you can change these through the \u201cchildren\u201d function which will subsequently change all formatting along this branch.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"482\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-2986\" data-id=\"2986\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Ayoa-Screenshot-2-1024x482.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Ayoa-Screenshot-2-1024x482.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Ayoa-Screenshot-2-300x141.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Ayoa-Screenshot-2-768x362.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Ayoa-Screenshot-2-1536x724.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Ayoa-Screenshot-2-712x335.jpg 712w, https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Ayoa-Screenshot-2.jpg 1917w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"464\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-2984\" data-id=\"2984\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-3-1-1024x464.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-3-1-1024x464.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-3-1-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-3-1-768x348.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-3-1-712x323.jpg 712w, https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-3-1.jpg 1332w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"476\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-2985\" data-id=\"2985\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-5-1-1024x476.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-5-1-1024x476.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-5-1-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-5-1-768x357.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-5-1-1536x715.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-5-1-712x331.jpg 712w, https:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-5-1.jpg 1917w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a aria-label=\"Pause Slideshow\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\" role=\"button\"><\/a><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also additional features such as being able to insert emoji reactions to each branch and being able to insert or upload images that may help spark further ideas or reinforce points.
