Mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information. Mind map

can be drawn by hand, either as “rough notes” during a lecture, meeting or

planning session. Mind mapping tools is popular among students and

lecturers. Millions of people use it to clarify thinking, manage complex

information, run brainstorming and get work organized. We want all

students and lecturers to have the same experience. This application is useful

to be developed into a mobile application so that it can be used anytime and

anywhere.

Mind mapping was developed by Buzan in 1970 (Buzan and Buzan, 1996)

after reviewing research on the psychology of learning and remembering.

According to Buzan and Buzan (1996) :

The mind map is an expression of radiant thinking and is therefore a function

of the human mind. It is a powerful graphic technique which provides a

universal key to unlocking the potential of the brain. The mind map can

be applied to every aspect of life.

History

How students learn how to develop mind maps

One way we introduce students to mind mapping is by presenting an introductory lecture that includes the history of the approach (Buzan, 1970), the right brain-left brain distinction (linear versus generative or lateral thinking), and some uses for mind mapping. This takes about one hour, then students are involved in one or two hands ± on exercises facilitated by the professor

1) To make an application that can help members of Universiti

Kebangsaan Malaysia to have

clear thinking and improve productivity level.

2) Specifically to help students in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia to

improve their academic planning.
