AI Concept Map Maker for Courses and Lectures
Show how every idea connects
Learners remember a course one session at a time. A knowledge map shows them the whole of it: the core concept in the middle, the ideas you taught arranged around it, and lines showing how each week builds on the last.
You don’t draw it. Pick two or more lectures or slide decks, and AI reads them together and drafts the map for you to edit.
What you can do
Built from your own slides
Choose the lectures or slide decks the map should cover. They are read together, including decks that are scanned or made of images.
A core concept and its rings
The idea that ties the lectures together sits at the centre, with the concepts you covered around it. Each one shows its week and a one-line caption.
Four kinds of connection
Builds on, applied in, contrasts with and related to — each drawn in its own style, loops included, because real subjects are not tidy trees.
Learners rate each concept
Learners tap a concept red, amber or green, anonymously. You see the class as a heatmap and know which ideas to revisit.
Each concept links to the material
Link a concept to the slide that taught it or to an item in a module, so a learner can go from the map straight to the source.
Written in fourteen languages
Generate the concepts and captions in any of the fourteen learner languages, even when the slides themselves are in English.
Watch it in action
A first draft from AI, finished by you
AI is good at spotting the concepts in a deck and weaker at knowing what you think matters most. So the map it produces is a draft: rename concepts into the words you use, tighten captions, add or remove connections, and change the core if it centred the wrong idea.
- 🤖AI reads the decks together and drafts the concepts and connections.
- ✏️You edit every concept, caption and connection.
- ✅Nothing reaches learners until you publish.
- 🔁Regenerate when you add another week of material.
Frequently asked questions
What is a knowledge map?
A knowledge map is a concept map of a course: one core concept at the centre, the concepts taught around it, and labelled connections showing how the ideas depend on and build on each other.
Can AI make a concept map from my slides?
Yes. Pick two or more lectures or slide decks and AI reads them together, chooses the core concept, extracts the key ideas and works out how they connect. You then edit the result before publishing it.
How do learners open the map?
By QR code or link, with no account. On a phone they can pinch to zoom, tap a concept to see what it connects to, or switch to a list view that reads the map week by week.
When should I use one?
Mid-unit to show where the course has got to, at the end of a unit to pull the sessions into one picture, and for revision, where following connections is a better study route than rereading slides in order.
Can I put a knowledge map in a module or lecture?
Yes. Add it to a learning module alongside the weeks it summarises, or use it as a break in an Interactive Lecture.
