Acknowledgements and funding

This Open Educational Resource (OER) was created by Elaine Kelly (TUS Athlone Disability Support Service). I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the lecturers and students who generously gave their time to engage with the Inspiration Mind Mapping software and to provide valuable feedback on its use.

I am grateful to Maura Flynn, the TUS OER Librarian, for her exceptional guidance and support in creating this OER. Please contact Maura to learn more about TUS Open Press and how you can share your work using Pressbooks.  The project resulted from close collaboration between Disability Support Services, Lecturers, and Library staff.

Finally, I would like to thank the team at TechEdology Ltd. for generously sharing access to their resources on Inspiration software.

I would also like to acknowledge the National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education for their support through the Strategic Alignment of Teaching and Learning Enhancement (SATLE) Fund, which provided the funding that made this project possible.
