A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information. A mind map is hierarchical and shows relationships among pieces of the whole.[1] It is often created around a single concept, drawn as an image in the center of a blank page, to which associated representations of ideas such as images, words and parts of words are added. Major ideas are connected directly to the central concept, and other ideas branch out from those.
By "LMS" I understand that you refer to a Learning Management System, like Blackboard, Sakai or Desire2Learn.
The benefit of using an LMS for class is that students do not need to be on campus. In the online class I taught last semester, I had several students who were not on campus and took the class as an elective in their regular majors.
I think that this can be beneficial to part time students, but some courses are more appropriate to online instruction via LS than others.
most importantly, allows for self-paced learning, self-directed learning, and the opportunity to engage in an online learning community. Cheers!
I do agree that the major benefit is that learners can work at their own pace. They can take longer time on any module to process and internalize their areas of interest or challenge.
