Visual Learning and Learning Styles

 

Extract from the Inspiration Help feature - loaded automatically with the application.

In Inspiration, you think and learn visually. Inspiration provides you with the tools that let you create a picture of your ideas or concepts in the form of a diagram. It also provides an integrated outlining environment for you to develop your ideas into organised written documents.
When you work with visual representations of ideas, you see easily how one idea relates to others. Learning and thinking become active rather than passive.

If you have an idea that you want to expand, whether it's an idea for a written document or the illustration of a key concept, Inspiration can help you organise your thoughts and save you time. Use the visual diagramming part of the program to play with your ideas, to arrange and group them in other words, to clarify your thinking.
When you need a different kind of structure, you can use the integrated outlining part of the program to organise your ideas in outline form. Inspiration's outline environment is perfect for creating structure for written documents, speeches and plans.
