PINNET Pinnet also offers virtual pinboards which can be used for brainstorming, gathering ideas and project planning. They are clear, easy to control and displayed in PostIt style. Texts and links can be shared. There is also the option to comment, “like” and rate posts. Users do not have to register. Pinnet’s server is in Germany.
MINDMAPS Paper mindmaps can also be created digitally, which has a number of benefits. Digital mindmaps can be shared and edited jointly (even at the same time), links can be added, and, most importantly, the mindmap can be restructured and regrouped at any time.

MINDMEISTER MindMeister allows people to work together on a mindmap wherever they are. The maps can be created by one person or jointly with other users. They can be shared or exported to your own computer. The basic version is free but is restricted to three maps. The individual sections can be manually selected or automatically created by an assistant for use in presentations. A screencast tool which creates a video using screen content and a microphone can be used to generate excellent learning material. MindMeister is used directly in the browser; apps are available for mobile devices. POPPLET Popplet is an English-language, web-based tool with a free basic version which can be useful for collecting and drafting ideas and creating mindmaps. Ideas and thoughts can be presented in relation to one another in “popples” with texts, images, videos, drawings. The presentation mode is rather unusual for a mindmap - ping tool, but very practical. Small presentations can also be created which are not slide-based but aim to give a visual overview. Popplet can be used alone or in groups. An iPad/iPhone app is also available. Popplet can be used without registration with export function; registered users also have a save option.
