Creating Mind Maps online was never so easy as today. I already mentioned FreeMind, an online tool to create this kind of diagrams.

I recently discovered Exploratree, another MindMap diagram drawing tool that has many other diagram templates and with lot of further functionality.

These diagrams can support independent and group research projects with frameworks for thinking, planning and enquiry. All of the guides are completely customizable or you can start from scratch and make your own! You can share them and work on them in groups too.

Even Exploratree is in beta release, it’s really very complete and easy to use.
