Read it. Map it. Present it.
Drop in a PDF, lecture notes, or a long ChatGPT chat. Get a mindmap dense enough to teach with — then walk through it node by node in Present mode.
Three kinds of readers.
A concept map is a reading tool as much as a writing one — and reading looks different depending on why you picked the book up.
For teachers preparing to present
Tomorrow's class needs a map.
Render the chapter as a map, walk students through it node-by-node in Present mode, then share the public link for them to annotate at home. One chapter, one page, no login required.
For self-learners
Trying to actually understand it — and explain it back.
Drop in the paper, the lecture notes, or that long ChatGPT conversation. Get a map that captures the argument structure. Study from it, then walk through it in Present mode — to a colleague, a study group, or yourself.
For students with deadlines
It's due tomorrow.
Paste the chapter, upload your notes. Five free maps, no signup. Get something you can hand in by morning — and a map you'll still understand on exam day.
The map you can stand up and present.
Other tools give you bullet points, static trees, or a blank canvas. ConceptMap gives you a mindmap dense enough to teach with — and a Present mode to walk it node by node.
Examples, by discipline.
142 maps, every one opened, edited, and republished by a real person.
From people learning and teaching.
Paraphrased from real users — teachers prepping a class, self-learners chasing a topic, researchers shaping a thesis.
“I needed recovery material for my students on indefinite integrals — drafted it in twenty minutes.”
“I had a long ChatGPT conversation about a topic. ConceptMap turned it into something I could actually study from.”
“Mapped my thesis findings into one figure. Going into the discussion chapter.”
“Complex subjects need to be simplified enough for every student to learn and pass.”
The difference between a concept map and a mind map is the difference between a proposition and a feeling.
Questions, considered.
What can I drop in?
Is this a mindmap or a concept map?
What is Present mode?
Can my students or my class use it without signing up?
What languages does it work in?
What do you want to understand this week?
Start with a reading list, a lecture, a question. The first map takes a minute.
