Thanks for the comments. The other use I’ve been experimenting with, outside of a classroom environment, is using the DebateGraph to depict the institutions, official and unofficial, which impact a particular policy topic. That seems to be working well too.

great experiment, I believe this specialised contexts are more suitable to debategraph than other more general context. On a more personal note: my 10 year daughter is being taught how to use mindmaps on computer at her school here in Belgium. Are maps taking ground in the classroom?

As a professor, I am so impressed at this type of tool for establishing discussion and critical thought and Sharon is certainly on the forefront by using such a tool, and she will serve as a valuable resource for others (maybe like me) who would like to integrate this into their curriculum!

This is awesome.. Dr. Chanley is great instructor. I have enjoyed and learned so much in these seven weeks.
