Mind maps or heuristic maps or Mindmaps in English are a good tool for learning … to learn. These graphical representations that allow for the organisation of thought are increasingly used in classrooms and textbooks. Here are three new sites that make it relatively easy to create an online mind map.

Table of Contents
TextToMindMap
Here is a fairly original online application. It allows you to turn a list into a mind map. Note-taking apps keep your thoughts. But this generates a list of texts, without any real hierarchy. Text2MindMap turns these text lists into mind maps automatically and will allow you to cogitate better on them. Each point is a node, and the indented lines are subnodes. Dragging nodes or subnodes changes their position on the screen. Changing their text position will change the hierarchy.

MapsOfMind

MapsOfMind is a much more comprehensive online tool than the previous one. It allows you to create complex mind maps alone or with others. The platform offers you to create "infoboxes" instead of the usual nodes. These ‘boxes’ have the advantage of being much more powerful with the possibility of integrating several text fields, task lists or comments. A fake look of Trello in the form of mindmaps. A professional solution for complex needs.
