==Description==
This is a modification of the original Mindmap module for moodle formerly found on ekpenso.com. 
This Advance Mindmap module allows you to create and save simple mindmaps from within moodle.

Added features include:
- Every user now have a separate mindmap in one single activity, with links to view others' mindmap.
- Dummy group mode: multiple mindmaps with simple group name that everyone can view and edit (for group mindmapping without having to setup groups in the course) 
- Lock mindmap: prevent editing of mindmap when someone is editing it during group mindmapping

Currently, it is not backward compatible with Moodle 1.9x, please install it on Moodle 2.x only.

==Installation==
- Copy the "/advmindmap" folder and place it into the /mod directory
- Login as administrator
- Go to the "Notifications" page under "Site administration"
- Moodle should detect a new module automatically, follow the onscreen instruction to install it
