title: Effects of mind mapping on student achievement in a nursing research course.
abstract: Nurse educators face the problem of getting students to understand massive amounts of content and see relationships between concepts. The author addresses this problem by comparing the effectiveness of one technique, mind mapping, to more traditional approaches. In addition, creative teaching strategies such as mind mapping can make a class not only more interesting, but fun.
