Visual learning is an instructional method in which ideas,
concepts, data and other information are associated with images
and represented graphically. Concept mapping is a good example
of visual learning. A concept map provides a way of representing
or organizing knowledge by showing relationships that exist
between concepts. It illustrates how knowledge is organized and
helps identify the way we think and see relationships between
entities. Visual learning can help students improve academic
performance and achieve success across the curriculum. Out of
many concept mapping software, Inspiration is by far the most
popular one and is widely used in schools. Inspiration
integrates dynamic diagramming and outlining environments to
help teachers and students organize ideas and information.
Students can use Inspiration as a graphic organizer tool for
brainstorming ideas, concept mapping, outlining, and organizing
thoughts. They can quickly create a mind map, an idea map, a
tree chart, a concept map or a flowchart
