Extend Your Knowledge
When you start creating a map to explore a new topic, it is likely that you won't have a lot of existing knowledge about what you are exploring, i.e. you may only be able to generate a few nodes.
Use the Conceptualyze Wikibox to extend your map by providing possible avenues for you to explore.

Wikibox
The Conceptualyze WIkibox is a free downloadable tool that helps a learner extend their concept maps past the limits of their existing knowledge.
Learners can enter any term into the search window, and the Wikibox will return anywhere from 10-50 related words or phrases that the learner can use to extend his / her concept map, or research further.
The Wkibox also possesses a "visual mode" which will display the Wikipedia page for the query.
