tools in parallel which I will come back to. I also could not resist the temptation to give you a short personal background in how I came to work with mind mapping already more than 30 years ago and how I now use a number of different mind mapping. In the other part of the channel, I focus on various aspects of security and I use my tools to develop that thinking. Because in my course channel I work on two parallel tracks: on one I am developing courses on tools for getting information, analyzing information and communicating information. The course will show you in fact both how I did this course and the other one on one single sheet of paper on the screen.
It costs around 15 dollars but the good news is that there is a trial version. If you try it for yourself you need to get the program here: Link to Scapple. I will show you that as well in another course.īut for now, let's stick to the goal to produce an online course using Scapple. Because you can brainstorm in a mind mapping format on Scapple and then drag and drop the text elements over to Scrivener. I wrote an entire book of 300+ pages two years ago using Scrivener and Scapple together. In this course, I will show you how I did it - so that you can do it for yourself.įor your information, Scapple is produced by the same firm as the perhaps most popular authoring program Scrivener by Literature and Latte.
Or if the material you have for the course becomes too extensive so that you will have to save some of it for later courses. This is useful if you do not know for a start what the course will look like. So I have actually used Scapple both to brainstorm, outline and create the course. All in one single document where I can zoom in and out.
Yes, but it cannot take you all the way as the very simple program Scapple does in the way I will show you in this course.īecause here I have concentrated literally all the script used for the course on screen together with some of the illustrations. So what could be a more simple tool for brainstorming than a blank sheet of paper? That is what the creator of mindmaps Tony Buzan recommended a number of decades ago. So here is how I did it in parallel to developing also the course you are following now - and I invite you in the associated project to try it out for yourself developing your own course outine. I needed a really simple tool to make it very clear also for non-experts. It contains a lot of different aspects on a challenge which is often seen as complicated.
I have just published a 40-minute course about how to work on your security awareness on Skillshare.
