SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO USE COLLABORATIVE MIND MAPS

摘要

The present invention relates to a system and method of effective and in-depth contextual online collaboration using mind maps. More particularly, the present invention relates to the implementation of the "Quasi-Synchronous Collaboration" using collaborative mind map either in a hardware or software form or in the combination of both. The system and method referred as "Quasi-synchronous collaboration" uses collaborative mind maps for online collaboration overlaid with structured/pre-defined communication providing advantages of both synchronous and asynchronous collaboration between various users for various purposes. Advantageously, the present invention could be used in several domains including the domains of e-learning, online demand/supply aggregation, project/program management, brainstorming, content creation, content review etc.
