I’ve been posting about various “mind mapping,” “flow charting,” and “concept mapping” tools that might be useful to use during brainstorming sessions. Well, I’ve come across another promising piece of software that is completely free. It is called Cmap (concept map), and it is the brainchild of the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition. It seems you can also export a drawing as a PDF, so it can easily be shared with others who do not have the software installed on their machines.
