TS00010 Using Mind Maps In Your Research

Academic Year 2017/2018

Mapping your ideas is a creative way to organise your thinking. There are a range of tools such as concept maps, mind maps or idea maps. These mapping techniques are used all over the world by researchers as a way of organising complex ideas and increasing creativity. They can be used to: organise the content and ideas in your thesis, structure a paper or report you need to write, prepare your lecture or presentation, or record brainstorming sessions. They are effective, easy to use and most of all FUN. In this workshop you will learn by doing. You will see how an idea map is created and then create your own using your own topic. The workshop will include opportunities for you to use idea mapping with your thesis. So bring along your ideas (and some coloured pencils)!
