Inhalt und Überblick
The course starts with an overview of the purpose and structure of the course.
You’ll soon see why mapping is so effective.
The benefits of mind mapping will be illustrated clearly.
You will be looking over the instructor’s shoulder so you can watch how it works.
The course will ease you into creating your mind maps — first through a series of guided exercises, then through open assignments pertaining to your personal goals.
Quizzes along the way will track your progress and ensure you’re grasping the concept.
Your verbal-numeric working memory can only juggle 3 or 4 complex ideas at any one time. Mind mapping allows you to extend this by adding spatial and visual-spatial working memory into the working memory mix.
Worth repeating: By following this course step-by-step, and not trying to rush ahead, you'll ensure that you are able to maximise the effectiveness of the technique, streamline your thought processes and thereby become more productive.
Learn to LOVE mind Mapping and use it effectively and productively ENROL NOW!
This lecture shows you the quality of the Mind Maps that you can expect to achieve once you've fully participated in and completed the course (including doing all the practice exercises and asking for feedback where necessary). The course shows you how to create great mind maps with pen and paper (so we are not using any proprietary mind mapping software) There are several reasons for this: one is that we don’t want to struggle with learning both how to do mind mapping whilst also learning how to navigate particular software (and all software is different) and second we want to get the ‘feel’ of the technique and this is not easily achieved with computer interfaces. We do however create some of the mind maps on this course using the iPad and other electronic devices which use drawing programs where we can still get the 'feel' of the technique
This lecture is intended to allay any fears you may have about undertaking new learning. You can skip this lecture if you are already fully confident that you can succeed with the course
This short lecture reminds us that the first thing we need for effective learning is to be in the right frame of mind
This lecture shows a mind map being created. (apologies for the poor quality on video and audio for this lecture). The mind map is about the benefits of the technique. All the videos with mind maps are best viewed in full screen mode
A quiz to assess your understanding about some of the key benefits of Mind Mapping
This lecture focusses in more detail on one of the topics from the article 'Cultivating the Mind for Positive Health'. The focus is on four of the important processes required to achieve effective learning. These processes can be drawn as a simple cycle as described by Prof Phil Race
Test your understanding about Learning and the Brain
This lecture outlines the benefits you get from reading mind maps. Reading mind maps out loud also develops and uses your 'auditory' learning pathways.
When you read a Mind Map you utilise both sides of the brain. The right side of your brain is good with seeing the big picture, 'filling in' the missing spaces on the map and making connections with what you already know. The left side of the brain likes to see the individual parts of the map, loves hierarchical organisation of the information, and values 'trigger' words to help recall information
After each READING EXERCISE please PAUSE to REFLECT upon 'How easy or difficult' you found the exercise (and bear in mind the more you do these types of exercises the easier it becomes)
In Section 2 of the course, you saw a mind map about a holiday being created. In this lecture you have the opportunity to read for yourself about a holiday in Goa and to see how easy or difficult it is to 'decode' or 'reconstruct' the author's intended meaning. How easy is it to get the 'gist' of this holiday? You'll need to view this mind map in fullscreen mode to be able to see the text.(or print out the mind map from the supplementary material)
This lecture is a mind map of a book summary. The book is the Seven Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra. How easy is it to get the gist of the book from the mind map?
See how much you have gleaned about the book
This short lecture gives us the third secret for effective learning that is to practice the easiest steps first
A short introduction to the copying step for learning effective mind mapping
This short lecture divulges the fourth secret for effective learning that is to get the feel of a new technique.
Watch Barry Mapp speaking live to a group of management consultants about memory.
Barry shares a very simple model about how our memory works and then he carries out an experiential exercise to show that the memory does indeed seem to work in the way the model predicts. When you view this video follow the instructions given to the consultants, do the exercise alongside them and you will learn some new things about how YOUR memory works. This is Part One - the exercise concludes in part two.
The reason for including this video in this Mind Mapping Course is that it demonstrates (amongst other things) the power of key (or 'trigger') words to help the brain recall information. One way of looking at a Mind Map is that it is a network of closely associated keywords (arranged hierarchically) and this helps to quickly retain and then recall information.
Part 2 of the Live presentation delivered to a group of management consultants where you discover the importance of 'trigger words' for accessing your temporary or permanent 'memory cache'
In Part 1 (lecture 21) Barry gave you twenty pairs of words. Please now continue with the memory exercise in this video (which should be viewed within 24 hours of watching Part 1 for maximum effect) where Barry helps you to 'recover' nearly all of the information.
This lecture starts with Barry talking briefly about long and short term memory. He then concludes the memory exercise demonstrating that most of the information delivered can be recalled effortlessly as he uses the first word of each pair to 'trigger' the second word. The idea is that you join in with this exercise alongside the consultants and you shout out the associated words if they come immediately to mind.
This lecture summarises the key points about mind mapping that we have learnt so far on this course
This lecture divulges the fifth secret for effective learning and that is to start integrating the key principles before you get to the more tricky bits (as becoming competent in the key fundementals will help when you're faced with greater complexity).
BONUS: There is also now a downloadable pdf document (in RESOURCES) summarising important aspects of human memory and study skills together with a separate paper on keyword selection.
An overview of this section of the course showing you how you can use templates to 'kick-start' your first few mind maps. This lecture also emphasises that when it comes to mind mapping less is more. You only need a few trigger words on your mind map to help you recall a huge amount of information that appears to lie 'dormant' in your head.
In this lecture you are first shown a simple way to 'draw out' a central topic so it stands out on the page. Then how to create main branches. FInally use the template constructed to set some goals using the mind mapping technique (you can copy the template or print it out to use)
A FEW OTHER TEMPLATES have been added - more suitable perhaps if you are still in school
As explained in this short video your next task is to create a 'work related' mind map
This lecture divulges the seventh secret of effective learning that practice is important in order to develop competence and that its practice that makes permanent and so it must be correct practice in order to develop good habits and only you can do the practice (if someone else does it for you then they, not you, develop the competence).
Also for those students who are interested in integrating mind mapping into their own personal study programme, I've included here a document on Study Skills. This document is taken from a programme that was run by Birmingham University (where I was a visiting lecturer) back in 2004 and the project finished a couple of years ago. I produced the sections on Memory,Learning, Study and Mind Mapping. Much of the material on memory is already covered in the course - the material on study skills and mind mapping begins on page 10 of the document. Although the guidance was produced in 2004 it is all still very relevant today.
This lecture reviews the complete course (review is important for learning). Please note that the course was originally titled the 'Secrets of Effective Mind Mapping' but Udemy asked us to change this title just prior to course publication.The lecture starts with Barry creating the mind map at x3 speed - (so if you'd like to see if you can get the 'gist' of the map as it is created you'll need to slow it down or pause it.) After the colour is added to the map you can then hear Barry using the map to give a spoken review of the course so far. Please watch in full screen mode so you get to see the details.
