Mind Maps New

Dr. Olivia can draw an interactive mind map of a topic: the topic in the middle, its main concepts branching out, and the details under those. Students use it to see how a topic fits together; faculty use it to plan a lecture. It appears in a few seconds. Dr. Olivia draws one only when you ask. She may offer, but nothing is drawn until you say yes.

How to Ask

• "Make me a mind map of the cardiac cycle."
• "Can you map out the causes of acute kidney injury?"
• "Show me how the RAAS hormones connect as a concept map."

Using the Map

• Expand and collapse: click a branch's dot to open or close what is under it.
• Ask about a concept: click any label. Dr. Olivia explains that concept in the context of the map, as if you had typed “Tell me more about …”.
• Notes: hover over a label to see a one-line note, when there is one.
• Expand: opens the map full screen. Scroll to zoom and drag to move around.
• Download PNG: saves the map as an image.
• PowerPoint / PDF: asks Dr. Olivia to turn the map into a file. That uses Slides & Documents and takes a few minutes.

Where to Find It Later

While the session is open, every map is listed in the Files section of the Session panel. Click one to bring it back up full screen, even after it has scrolled out of view or you have reloaded the page.

Every map is also in your session summary email as an outline, under the reply that drew it in your session history, and in Your files on the dashboard, where it opens full screen.

Limitations

• A map holds up to about 80 concepts, four levels deep. For a bigger topic, ask for a map of one part of it.
• The content comes from your conversation and the course materials. Check clinical facts against your textbooks.
