Assignment Description:
Mind mapping is an accelerated learning technique that accesses both
sides of the human brain. It is a method that allows learners to take copious notes on a single sheet of paper, brainstorm using words, graphics, pictures, and colors. Mind-mapping helps the learner remember information longer, quickly generating ideas, organizing complex thoughts, and solving challenging problems.
For this assignment, create a mind-map beginning with a central theme related to The External and Internal Frame Factors (Chapter 3 in Keating et al., 2018).
Use pictures, graphics, colors, and symbols in creating your mind map related to the following assignment prompt:
