Inspiration training

The Library and Disability and Learner Support are pleased to launch Inspiration training for all students. Training takes place on Monday 15th April and Tuesday 7th May. Book your place.

Inspiration is mind mapping software that creates a framework structure for assignments using a visual mind map. It is commonly recommended software for those with Specific Learning Difficulties and/or a disability but would be beneficial to anyone who has to write reports, assignments or project plan.

Inspiration can be used to:

Enhance and improve your work

• Build vocabulary and accurately express your intended message with the Word Guide, an integrated dictionary and thesaurus.
• Include videos and record and play sound in your diagrams, outlines and presentations to add multimedia impact.
• Add hyperlinks to web pages, files and other Inspiration® documents to gather research or organize larger team projects.
• Capture the most important details in literary and informational text using Inspiration as a note taking tool.

Share your work

• Print your work from Diagram, Map and Outline Views and from the Presentation Manager.
• Transfer your work to a word processor to streamline and support project completion.
• Save documents as PDFs.
• Use the Site Skeleton® export to transform diagrams into HTML web sites.
• Export diagrams and mind maps as .jpg, .gif, .png, .bmp or .wmf files to insert in other materials.

More information see the Inspiration website.

The software will be networked across all computer suites this academic year so everyone can use it.
