I mentioned some software training, last Thursday.
At TheOldPlace we had some mindmapping software called Inspiration (and MindManager as well, but Inspiration was what was on the network for all staff and students).
Here we have something called MindGenius which I've struggled to use as flexibly as Inspiration although it does produce more TonyBuzanish mindmaps. I just don't seem to be able to move things on a page as I might wish. A couple of weeks ago I'd been to see someone across the road who was apparently an expert on the software in the hopes that he might be able to help.
Turns out I don't need to worry, the lot who now inhabit the remaining new bit of extension (dealing with those working up to a real degree) were just about to buy Inspiration for the uni network. Better yet it was a much newer version that is much whizzier!
Great news. Though the downside was, of course, that when it did appear on the network last week, I was the 'instant' expert and volunteered to lead the training on it.

I have tried both MindGenius and Inspiration, but in the end went with NovaMind because it's a much better product, better support, higher quality Mind Maps etc. I've been using it for some time now and am very happy with my choice.
Thanks for the comment. I shall have to check out NovaMind which I've not come across before. Not, of course, that I have much say in what gets bought here, but I'd be interested to see what it's better at.
