In regards to students, when placed in teams, projects can be mapped out into different threads and each thread can be assigned to each student in the group. This allows group projects to be visualized in the aspect of what information needs to be obtained and who will pursue that information. Teachers can use MindMeister as a tool to help students visualize subjects that stem from multiple causes.

Being able to visualize complex ideas and concepts is key for any team.
