Choose the features you need.
Consider how you will present and share your maps, and whether you need LMS access.
- Will you teach from it?
- In Foramind you present directly from the map, so a class or a training group follows the structure you prepared.
- Will someone else revise from it?
- Share the map you taught from. The people you shared it with can open the same map again when they revise or need a reminder.
- Does it need to sit in your learning platform?
- Institutional plans offer LTI 1.3 for Moodle, Canvas and Blackboard, so maps sit where your learners already work.
- Should someone make the maps for you?
- Our content service turns your course or training material into clear, connected maps, typically within five working days. Our team builds and checks every map, and the maps are then yours to edit.
When another tool is the better choice.
Consider tools with features for these tasks.
You map for yourself
If the map is for your own planning or brainstorming and nobody will learn from it, a general-purpose mapping app is the simpler fit.
You run live workshops
Sticky notes, voting and many people editing at once are what an online whiteboard is built for.
You need a full course platform
Enrolment, assessment and learner records belong in your LMS. Foramind works beside it.
You want ready-made revision for every subject
A broad revision platform covers far more of the curriculum than a mapping tool. Foramind is for the topics you explain yourself.
If slides and notes already work
Try Foramind on a topic you teach each term or explain to each new intake. Compare the preparation time and the material learners receive with your current slides and notes.
How we compare
Each comparison takes the other tool’s answers from its own pricing and product pages, with the date we checked them. Where a page does not mention a feature, we say so rather than assume it is missing. If you spot an error, tell us and we will correct it.
