Structure of workshop
Welcome & introduction
- Welcome and introducing trainer.
- What are we going to cover today and what is the result.

- Explaining Mind Mapping
- The origins of mind mapping and telling who uses it.
- Why is it so important and 'tasty' for your brain to mindmap?
- What are the main pointers for mindmapping on paper and on the computer?
- The biggest differences between the paper and digital mindmap.
- When to mindmap not on paper but on the computer, and vice versa.

- Exercise: The Paper Mindmap
- Making a mindmap based on a study book. The participant has their own study book which is used as an information source to create a mind map on paper. This exercise helps participants to get a good overview of the study material in a very short time (less than 25% of the normal time). Precisely by first mindmapping on paper and only then taking up digital mindmapping offers additional insight into its use.

- Explanation Digital Mind Mapping
- Different packages, explanation of why exactly this package was chosen.
- Discussion of the most important functions and possibilities.
- Explanation of how to quickly set up a simple, practical mind map using the software package.

- Exercise: The Digital Mind Map
- The mind map already made on paper is made digitally. This makes the difference between the two types of mind maps much clearer and the participant learns to understand and apply mind mapping even better.
