This tool has been described as a free version of the "Inspiration" software program, a visual mapping software for helping to organize writing. The site, http://cmap.ihmc.us/ uses a version of the mapping software to indicate how it can be downloaded and used. The site uses the following description:
The IHMC CmapTools program empowers users to construct, navigate, share and criticize knowledge models represented as concept maps. It allows users to, among many other features, construct their Cmaps in their personal computer, share them on servers (CmapServers) anywhere on the Internet, link their Cmaps to other Cmaps on servers, automatically create web pages of their concept maps on servers, edit their maps synchronously (at the same time) with other users on the Internet, and search the web for information relevant to a concept map.
The IHMC CmapTools client is free for educational institutions, federal employees working for the US Government, and for individual use (non commercial). In particular, schools and universities are encouraged to download it and install it in as many computers as desired, and students and teachers may make copies of it and install it at home.
