Coggle, a mind mapping tool
Mind mapping
Description: Coggle is a tool for organising and sharing information. It allows the creation of mind maps and flowcharts for individual or collaborative use. Coggle's interface clearly presents and displays information in the form of branches. Users can also upload links and images to accompany notes. Coggle offers a limited yet comprehensive free version. It requires having an account to create content.
Evaluation: Coggle is a great resource for studying individually, or for brainstorming as a class or in small groups. It is user-friendly and straightforward. The free version should suffice for educational purposes.
Cost: Free with registration + paid plans available.
Usability and tech notes ▼
Time efficiency 
Time needed to learn how to use a tool and its time-saving potential: Medium.
Interface language(s) The number of languages in which the tool is currently available/adaptable to: English.
Respect for privacy What data does the tool collect and why? What security measures are there? GDPR compliant? : Medium. Coggle’s privacy policy indicates that personal information collected is limited to what is necessary for the operation of the service, such as name, email address, avatar, gender (if declared), and language settings. This aligns with the data minimisation principle. Coggle’s policy is transparent about data sharing and privacy settings. It could nonetheless provide more information on security measures. Users have control over their diagrams' privacy settings and can choose whether diagrams are public or private. They can also close their accounts to delete personal information. While the policy generally complies with the principle of compliance, it could specify the relevant data protection laws that apply. For example, GDPR is not mentioned. See more here.
