Learning Tool operates at three coordinated levels, each with different types of windows. Triple-click the term on the Help Notebook MasterList for information on the type of window that you need. An overview of each is presented here.
The MasterList is an outliner. It allows you to enter and organize the primary and subordinate ideas and concepts from any of your courses. Each entry automatically creates a note card in the second level, the Concept Map.
In the Concept Map you can easily move note cards around to graphically organize your ideas. You can link the note cards into a network, or map, that visually displays relationships that you define. You can also build sub maps within maps, creating complex networks in compact space.
At the third level, the Detail window, you can enter information for each note card. In addition to the text and graphic functions of Learning Tool you can use standard cut and paste techniques to exchange information with other Macintosh software packages. You can use your notes to write a term paper on a word processor or paste more complex graphics into your note cards.
