Run the session from the map.
Build the training as a map, open one branch at a time while you explain it, and leave the group with the same map when the session ends.
No card needed · Web, iOS and Android
Turn the procedure into a map.
Ask Foramind to start a map from the procedure or your trainer notes, and it suggests the first branches. Arrange them around the tasks people will do, then invite the expert who owns the process to check it with you.
- Every suggested branch can be edited or deleted
- Edit the map together with a reviewer before the session
- Or start from a ready-made template
Present the procedure branch by branch.
Present straight from the map and open each branch when you reach it. The group follows your explanation instead of reading ahead, and the whole procedure stays on screen as you go deeper.
- No separate slide deck to keep in step
- Questions land on a branch everyone can see
Hand over the map you trained with.
Send the group a link, or place the map in a course in Moodle, Canvas or Blackboard. When the question comes up on the job, people open the same structure they saw in the session.
- Opens on any device, with nothing to install
- Download it as a PDF or PNG when you need a copy
Run the refresher on the map they know.
When the procedure changes, edit the branch that changed. In the refresher session, reopen the map the team already knows and walk through what is new.
Training a whole team?
HR and L&D teams map onboarding, policies and procedures for everyone, and open the maps from the LMS they already run.
Foramind for HR & L&D ›Mind maps for training: frequently asked questions
Practical answers on preparing training materials, presenting a session, working with subject experts and sharing maps with participants.
How do I turn a training document into a mind map?
Start from your procedure, training document or facilitator notes and ask Foramind to suggest the first branches. Arrange them around the tasks participants need to perform, then check the wording, sequence and examples against your source. Every suggested branch can be edited or deleted. Follow the five-step guide to turning training documents into mind maps.
Can I prepare a training session from a ready-made template?
Yes. Start from a ready-made mind map template and edit its branches to match your training objectives. Replace examples with ones relevant to your organisation, check any procedure details with the person responsible, and arrange the map in the order you want to teach it. You can also build a map from scratch.
Can a subject expert review the training map with me?
Yes. Invite a colleague or subject expert to the same map and edit it together before the session. For procedure training, ask the process owner to check the steps, decision points and exceptions. This is a preparation workflow; you still need to agree who checks and approves the content. See Foramind’s editing and collaboration features.
Can I present a training mind map without creating a separate slide deck?
Yes. Present directly from the map and open each branch as you explain it. The overall structure stays visible while you explore a step or answer a question. Arrange the branches in your session order beforehand, then use the same map for the discussion and handout. See mind map presentation features.
Can I use Foramind for online and face-to-face training?
Yes. For an online session, open the map in your browser and share your screen through your usual video-call tool. In a face-to-face session, display it on the room’s screen. Foramind provides the map; use your chosen meeting tool for the call. Participants can open a shared map in their browser without installing an app.
Can participants open training maps in Moodle, Canvas or Blackboard?
Yes. Foramind supports Moodle, Canvas and Blackboard through LTI 1.3, so learners can open maps from their course page. Discuss your platform and setup requirements with your LMS administrator before rollout. See how Foramind’s LMS integration works or contact us about your training setup.
How do I update a mind map for refresher training?
When a procedure changes, check the new source document and edit the affected branches. Ask the process owner to review the changes, then use the updated map in your refresher session. If you previously distributed PDF or PNG copies, export and share new copies as well. For a wider programme, see mind maps for HR and L&D teams.
