軟體以概念圖的觀念,可以物件式地搬移元件,每個元件還可以各自加註、超連結或再展開另一個概念子圖。
INSPIRATION 強調視覺化學習(VISUAL LEARNING)
針對不同層面給予圖像或顏色的區隔,可以清楚表達課程設計的構想;由其中一個概念出發(例如節慶或學習領域),可以延伸發想新圖。若再輔以網站上傳檔案與發表,建立各種課程設計的工作模板、主題統整實例,還可以從物件圖像點選後端的資源庫,讓老師在設計課程的過程中,藉由交流分享與腦力激盪,規劃出最豐富的課程。
更新介紹
Citation Tool and Bibliography Generator
Inspiration 10's new Citation tool allows users to add multiple references to symbols and branches on a visual map, along with the relevant hyperlink for each. Inspiration 10 will then automatically collect and alphabetically organise all the citations into a dedicated Bibliography section within the Outline View. Users can then preview before exporting.
Transfer Tool: Copy to Clipboard
The new copy to clipboard option allows diagrams and outlines to be quickly pasted into apps, such as Google Docs and Microsoft OneNote, using the Transfer tool - the same way users could always transfer their Inspiration files into a Word document.
Sync Tool Added to Map View
Previously only in Diagram View, the Sync tool will match the way you order your visual view to the Outline View. Without using this tool, the outline will be organised in the order you enter and link ideas. However, you may rearrange your map and want your outline to reflect your order of thinking. Using the Sync tool between Map and Outline View means first-level topics will be organised following a clockwise order, with further subtopics ordered top to bottom.
Export Style Headings
Style headings will apply to Inspiration 10 outlines when they are transferred to Word or copied to clipboard. This means the document works a lot like Outline View, as topic content can be minimised to allow users to focus on a particular section. Style headings also mean screen readers recognise headings and body text.
Work Focused Templates
50 work focused templates will be made available to open in Inspiration 10 from the Templates library. As well as being suitable for the workplace, many students will find relevant templates to subjects such as business and marketing.
