CmapTools

CmapTools is concept mapping software developed by the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC).^[1] It allows users to easily create graphical nodes representing concepts, and to connect nodes using lines and linking words to form a network of interrelated propositions that represent knowledge of a topic.^[2] The software has been used in classrooms and research labs,^[3]^[4] and in corporate training.^[5]^[6]

CmapTools is available for download as a stand alone application for desktop and tablet computing, as well as a cloud based application on all web browsers.^[7]
