“…Digital mind maps include both digital pictorial and text information and allow ideas to be externalized as a structured neural network including textual and visual images of concepts originating from a central idea and to be disseminated as branches of related information [5,6]. In the literature, past research has found that digital mind mapping can be used to enhance both individual and collaborative learning [7].…”

In practise, mind maps have long been used by individuals especially teachers to create, visualise, arrange, and expand ideas in order to facilitate teaching and learning. Learning visually is a distinctive technique in modern pedagogy because most individuals are visual learners. As technology advances, digital mind map is created to replace manual mind map to bring modern pedagogy into the era of the fourth industrial revolution. Digital mind map has been used by teachers to teach diverse subjects. However, the use of digital mind map in teaching writing is scarce. Hence, the purpose of this case study was to examine the use of digital mind map to stimulate creativity and critical thinking in ESL writing course. A sample of 32 university students was selected randomly from one public university in Malaysia. The researchers developed a set of questionnaires to measure the three constructsthe usage of digital mind map, creativity, and critical thinking in writing tasks based on these three models: Lin & Faste, William, and Watson-Glaser models. The empirical results showed that the use of digital mind map evidently stimulates the students' creativity and critical thinking in completing their writing tasks as perceived by the respondents. Thus, the use of digital mind map has facilitated the ESL students' writing tasks in terms of integrating creative and critical elements.

“…Early stage ideation is a critical step in the design process. Mind maps are a popular tool for generating and organizing high level concepts early in that process [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. A mind map generally consists of a hierarchical series of nodes containing categories and concepts, often either expressed as words, short phrases or sketches [2].…”

“…Mind mapping tools have been developed which use webpages as concepts, seeding the mind map automatically and enabling users to explore the web via concept linkages [15]. Additional tools attempt to seed concepts scraped from the internet during the creation process [8][9][10][11]. WordViz [16] provides a mind map interface to the WordNet [17] database, allowing human designers to construct designs by analogy, such as through the WordTree Method, and mind maps comprised of conceptually linked words (such as synonyms and antonyms) given a seed word.…”

In this paper, we report on our investigation of human-AI collaboration for mind-mapping. We specifically focus on problem exploration in pre-conceptualization stages of early design. Our approach leverages the notion of query expansion—the process of refining a given search query for improving information retrieval. Assuming a mind-map as a network of nodes, we reformulate its construction process as a sequential interaction workflow wherein a human user and an intelligent agent take turns to add one node to the network at a time. Our contribution is the design, implementation, and evaluation of algorithm that powers the intelligent agent (IA). This paper is an extension of our prior work (Chen et al., 2019, “Mini-Map: Mixed-Initiative Mind-Mapping Via Contextual Query Expansion,” AIAA Scitech 2020 Forum, p. 2347) wherein we developed this algorithm, dubbed Mini-Map, and implemented a web-based workflow enabled by ConceptNet (a large graph-based representation of “commonsense” knowledge). In this paper, we extend our prior work through a comprehensive comparison between human-AI collaboration and human-human collaboration for mind-mapping. We specifically extend our prior work by: (a) expanding on our previous quantitative analysis using established metrics and semantic studies, (b) presenting a new detailed video protocol analysis of the mind-mapping process, and (c) providing design implications for digital mind-mapping tools.
