  One activity Students wereasked if the wordcloud accurately reflected the critical points in an article - ‘I thought you were showing me something that would save me doing as much work, but I soon worked out that you can’t do a good word cloud unless you really understand the stuff first.

  Student responses ‘I foundthis experience very enlightening. I already had this software on my laptop from when I was in high school, but had never really seen the benefit of using it. I now see how useful it can be.’ ‘key concepts were able to be linked, rather than presented and learned as a list i was able to use one piece of information to prompt other information which i think will be great when under exam conditions, if i remember the basic map, i can use what i do remember to cue more information and fill in the blanks.’ http://mams.rmit.edu.au/mc0b2wexcrylz.pdf
