Turn a topic, your learning outcomes or a PDF reading into a concept map that shows students not just what the key ideas are, but how they relate.
Every map answers a focus question; concepts run from the most general at the top to the most specific, and each line is labelled so it reads as a statement, such as “RAAS activation causes sodium and water retention”. Dashed cross-links join ideas from different branches, which is where deep understanding shows.
Drag concepts to rearrange them, edit any label or link, or ask the AI to suggest more cross-links.
Switch to a student version where students fill in the linking phrases, fill in the concepts, or build the map themselves from a skeleton, with an optional word bank.
Download it as an image, a Word document with answer keys, or a print-ready PDF. Built for university and college teaching, especially topics where causes, mechanisms and consequences matter.
