XMind is a mind mapping program that was developed as an open source project. It may be obtained for free by anyone any day of any year. It is a very good mind mapping program — not the best for me but for many more than sufficient for their needs. This is also a very good program to help you learn how to use mind maps to organize information and one which is excellent for taking notes in a class or meeting. And, of course, the price is right.
XMind also comes in two paid versions that incorporate features useful for file export to and from a dozen programs, brainstorming, printing, and using the program to give presentations. There is a Plus and a Pro version that are fairly priced given what the cost of the competing programs that have additional features.
UNTIL SEPTEMBER 10 2014, students qualify for a FREE Plus version and teachers-professors qualify for a FREE Pro version.
