We have two interactive tutorials designed to introduce you to the Mind Matrix Java application. The first tutorial explains the Student mode: taking a mapping task, working with the program, and understanding the interface. The second tutorial explains the Author mode: building tasks and maps with the authoring interface, implementing mapping tasks and reviewing students' work.

Viewing the tutorials requires the Macromedia Flash 4 Player plug-in for your browser. If you do not already have the Flash 4 Player plug-in, Go to the Macromedia Downloads page to download the Flash 4 Player.

Clicking on the image above will take you to the Mind Matrix Student Tutorial, which will familiarize you with the application and teach you the basics on how to interact with a mapping task.

Clicking on the image above will take you to the Mind Matrix Editor Tutorial, which will show you the basics on how to construct and evaluate maps. We recommend that you view the Student Mode tutorial before viewing the Author tutorial.
