Your concept map OER for your topic will help you coherently and comprehensively organize your thinking about the concepts and sub-concepts that comprise your topic. This concept map can provide a useful ‘blue-print’ for creating your OER. In fact before you do any writing (or teaching) you should prepare a concept map on the topic, to better organize your thoughts, the connection between your ideas, their flow and sequence etc. Making this a habit will be very helpful in your work, including in OER creation.+ − + − You will learn the following using the FOSS application Freeplane − # Creating a concept map − # Inserting a hyper-link − # Inserting a note − Open Freeplane on your computer, through Applications → Office → Freeplane. − − − You can create a concept map using the FOSS tool ‘Freeplane’. − − Open Freeplane, select Applications → Office →Freeplane

Concept maps are an effective way of creating a textual resource that can be organized graphically, in the form of a map or tree of ideas; it provides a pictorial overview of the concepts, related concepts / sub-concepts for a topic. A concept map helps you to create a textual OER with possibilities for linking to additional resources, adding annotations as well as graphically organizing ideas through links. A concept map can also be used to plan and design the OER by identifying areas of resource requirements as well as linking to additional resources, serving as a blue print for OER development.

Freeplane is a FOSS application that can be used to create concept maps; this toolkit will introduce you to use of Free plane and various functionalities.
