The button to create resources is located in the left-hand side of the top menu on GoConqr. Click on it and select the Mind Map option. You’ll then be brought straight to a blank Mind Map canvas.

If you create a Mind Map, it will automatically be saved to your General subject. However, if you are within a subject when you decide to create a Mind Map, it will be saved in this subject automatically.

Creating your Mind Map

When you first enter a Mind Map you will see your central node and a Menu bar with many options to customise your map.

Clicking the central node and typing will automatically rename the Mind Map. If you drag the “+” icon out from the node you can create another node. This will be connected to the central node by a thin strand.

In the menu bar you will find several controls to edit your text; you can make it bigger, bold, italic or change the font type of the node and any nodes that are attached to it.

You can also change the colour of a node. If you want, you can apply these changes to the outline of a node only, all child nodes and enable a gradient filter.

To delete a node and any nodes connected to it, select the node and click on the ‘x’ icon. You will be asked to confirm this selection.

The paperclip icon allows you to attach another resource to a Mind Map node for easy access. You can also attach an Annotation, which is a short note. An Annotation can only be accessed through the node it’s attached to. Click on the little notepad icon in your Mind Map to access an Annotation.

The Actions Bar

In the header, you will see all the action bar. From here, you will be able to move your Mind Map to a different Subject or Topic, export it as a PNG file, Copy, Print, Generate a Note, Share it with friends, groups and other users, make it Private, update the Title, Description and Tags, go to the View or Tracking Mode, or delete the Mind Map entirely, as well as view our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).

Zooming in/out and Inserting Images

In the bottom left-hand of the screen you will see a slider that will allow you to zoom in and out.

You can also insert images by clicking on the corresponding button in the top menu bar.

Sharing your Mind Map

When sharing your Mind Map with your GoConqr friends, you can either share as a read-only or a ‘copy and edit’ version. The read-only option gives your friend a snapshot of your resource; they see everything but cannot add anything new. The ‘copy and edit’ option gives them a copy, which they can then edit themselves.

This works the same for sharing with groups; instead of picking friends, you pick the group or groups you want to share with!

You can also share your Mind Map outside of GoConqr using the Social Sharing and Email Sharing options. If you prefer, you can embed your resources in a webpage or blog by inserting the embed code in the HTML section of your site.

Visual Resources

Using these techniques you will be able to create your own Mind Maps in no time. Here’s a Mind Map we made earlier!

The button to create resources is located in the left-hand side of the GoConqr top menu. Click on it and select the Flashcards option. You’ll then be brought straight to a new Flashcard deck.

The first thing you will need to do to get started with your Flashcard deck is to give it a name. You can do this by clicking on the top bar where it says “Untitled”. A pop-up window will appear and you will be able to add a Title, Description and as many Tags as you want for your resource. You can also enable/disable notifications alerts related to your resource in the same area.

Creating your Flashcard Deck

When you are visiting the edit screen for your Flashcards, you will be presented with two boxes. The one on the left is for the front of the card; the one on the right is for the back of the card.

Click on the boxes and enter whatever content (text, image or both, including GIF files) you want and click ‘Add to Deck’. You will see the cards you enter appear below this. You can see more on how to add images to your Flashcards here.

Once here, they are automatically saved so don’t worry! You can enter as many cards as you want.

Styling your Flashcards

You can also apply several styles to your Flashcards. For example, you can change a card’s background or use different fonts types for your text. These styles can be applied separately to the front and the reverse. Please note that whenever you apply a style to either side, this will be rolled over to all cards in the deck.

The Action Bar

The Action bar at the top also allows you to move your Flashcard Deck to a different Subject or Topic, Make a copy, Print it, Sharing with friends, groups and others, make it Private, update its Title, Description and Tags, go to the View Mode, or delete the deck entirely.

You can also rearrange the cards by dragging it from the area marked in red below, dropping it onto the desired area and clicking on Save at the end of the page.

Playing your Flashcard Deck

When playing your Flashcard deck, click the on the next card to move forward using the arrows to go left or right, or click on the numbered circles above the cards to jump into a certain card. Turn a card over and shuffle the deck. You can also use keyboard shortcuts to navigate through your deck. The left and right arrow keys will move the deck and the space bar will turn a card over. You can use a touchscreen device to navigate the deck also.

As you flick through your cards, you also have the option to mark each of them as “I know it/I don’t know it” using the thumbs up/down buttons, to Shuffle or to Flip the deck.

If you click on the arrows pointing upwards on the bottom left-hand side corner, you will discover further options to Edit, Move the deck to a different Subject, Share and Print your resource. Click on the downward pointing arrow to hide this menu.

Visual Resources

Using these techniques you will be able to create your own Flashcard deck in no time. Here’s a Flashcard deck we made earlier!

Click on the ‘create’ option and you’ll be brought straight to a new quiz screen.

A Quiz is a series of questions. As such, when making a quiz, you’ll be asked to create questions which will become a part of your Quiz.

Quiz Settings

Before your start adding your questions, select your preferred quiz settings.

For example, add a quiz timer to put a time limit on each question. You can also weigh your questions; one question can be worth 5 points , while another only 2. This makes your quizzes more realistic and more like a real exam. You can find these options under both, your question and quiz settings.

Adding Questions to your Quiz

To add questions to your quiz, first select the Type of Question that you would like to include in your quiz (you can mix different types on the same one).

You have the option to choose between the following type of questions:

• Multiple Choice: questions with only 1 correct answer
• Checkboxes: questions with 1 or more correct answers
• True or False: question is either true or false

Enter your question and answers and mark the correct one/s. You can also add an explanation by clicking on Add Explanation.

Once you are happy with your Question and Answers, you will be able to change the question’s score value and decide whether you want to shuffle the order in which answers will appear on each attempt.

Of course, you can also add images to both your questions and answers. This makes your quizzes more engaging and rewarding. You can find the add image option located on the bottom right, under every question/answer.

Your question is now ready. Click “Save and Add Another Question” or “Save and Return to Question List” if your quiz is complete .

When you’re done you can play the Quiz. You need to select the answer and then confirm your selection before moving on the next question. When you have finished answering all questions you can review all your answers again before seeing your results.

Tracking Performance

The quizzes also allow you to track your performance with a certain quiz over time.

Click on “View Performance Stats” to view a chart with your progress or “Global Attempts” to see how your performance compares to that of other users.

Using these techniques you will be able to create your own Quiz in no time. Here is one we made earlier!

Content to follow

The create Note button is located in the “Create” drop-down menu. Click on this and you’ll be brought straight to a new Note canvas.

Click ‘Insert Clipping’ and select the type you want (text, image, media or GoConqr resource). Once you have inserted the clipping, you can change its size and shape and move it around the canvas. You can add as many clippings and you need.

There a numerous text tools located in the toolbar. These include: Bold, Italics. Underline, Change Size, text Colour, Bullet or Number points. You can also insert a link to an external site. Along with text editing options, you can adjust the background colour of a clipping. You can apply this to individual clipping or all clippings using the ‘Select All’ option.

In the header, you will see options to move your Note to a different Subject or Topic, Copy it, Share it with your friends, go into the View or Tracking Mode or Delete the note entirely.

Using these techniques you will be able to create your own Notes in no time.

When you are in ‘edit mode’ you will see a grey navigation bar at the top of the screen. Look for the symbol of a landscape picture.

Click here to add your image.

When you add an image it will not be connected to any node. You will be able to insert it anywhere on the canvas. If you want, you can place a node in front or behind the image to make it look like it is connected.

The order in which items appear in a Mind Map depends on the order they were created. So if you want a node to overlay an image it needs to be created after the image is uploaded. Conversely, if you want it to appear behind the image the node needs to be created before the image is uploaded.

Along with text clippings, you can insert other study resources created with GoConqr (Mind Maps, Flashcards, Quizzes and Notes). Images and other multimedia resources (videos, sounds, presentations) can also be inserted into your Online Notes as clippings.

GoConqr uses the universal mark-up language LaTex to input Mathematical Symbols and Equations.

You can enter Mathematical Symbols and Equations anywhere in Flashcards, Quizzes and Notes but only in the annotations( not in the nodes) on Mind Maps. This is due to how our Mind Map tools renders text.

To enter mathematical symbols you need to insert the code within either:

\( …\) or \[ …\]

The \(…\) is for inline text

While \[…\] is for stand alone text

Below we have outlined the text needed for the most common types of Mathematical symbols and equations.

Note: All these examples appear in the stand alone text format i.e. \[…\]. If you wish to include the symbols within text you will need to use the inline bracket set of \(…\)

When it comes to maths it’s always best to start with the Greeks…

Pro Tips:

Right click on any symbols you see in GoConqr and you’ll be given options to see it in LaTex code. If you’re copying and pasting code in from elsewhere make sure and ‘paste as plain text’.

Having LaTex in a resources title will create very ugly links if you share that resource. Only enter LaTex as a title if it’s necessary!

Yes, a private resource can be shared with a friend on GoConqr. When you are inside the resource you wish to share click on the share icon on your dashboard.

From there you will be given the following options. Click the ‘Share on GoConqr’ button followed by ‘Share With Friends’. Select one of your friends on GoConqr and your resource is now shared.

We have introduced GoConqr tags as a way of categorising your resources so that common topics and resources can be identified. By adding a tag to your resource, you can allow GoConqr to suggest similar public resources on that topic. This allows you to gain access to a wider range of relevant public content on GoConqr.

Tags can be added when you title your resource or by choosing the “edit details” button in view mode of the resource, see below:

You can find your study resources by:

1. Searching through your Subjects
2. Using the Search bar

1. Searching through your Subjects

• Click on “Subjects” on GoConqr’s header
• Click on a Subject tile. You will find your study resources divided by Topics as previously specified by you.

2. Using the Search Bar

• Input your desired search terms on the Search bar, visible on GoConqr’s header. Select the relevant resource under “My Resources” or just click on the magnifying glass.

• Once presented with the results of your query, you can further filter them, by selecting the search scope and resource type.

Filling in this info allows us to tailor public content to what will be of interest to you. It also marks your content properly so others can learn from what you’ve created too!

Imagine that you have found a great learning resource that you would like to check again in the future. Since you did not create the resource, you cannot move it onto one of your subjects.

Pins exist for those cases. By clicking on the “Pin to…” option, while on a resource’s view mode, you are effectively saving a link to it, within your preferred subject, for later reference. The pin option is located at the bottom right hand of any mind map or flash card document.

That way, you will easily find it any time!

Your Pinned Resources will be within the Subject that you assigned them to, when you initially pinned them.

You will be able to differentiate your pinned resources from the rest because they display a “Pin” icon on the bottom right-hand side corner of a resource tile.

To remove a pin from a learning resource, go to the resource’s view mode and click on the “Move to…” icon. On the emerging pop-up window, you will notice an “Unpin” button. Click on it and the resource will be unpinned from your Subject. You can also decide to move it to another Subject instead.

Play Mode is a quick way of turning your resources into a presentation. This is perfect for students or teachers who want to quickly recap a resource before an exam or while studying.

Press Play to see an overview of the Living Environment Regents Exam here.

Yes, you can print your Mind Map, Flashcards, Quizzes, Notes and your Timetable.

The option to print is located along the bottom right of the page when you are finished editing your resource.

Alternatively, you can find it in the View Mode on the advanced functions area visible after clicking on “Toggle Controls”.

A Public resource is discoverable. This means that if someone has the unique public URL, they will be able to view the resource. A Private resource is locked-down; only you can see it.

How to Switch from Public to Private or Vice Versa

When in View Mode, you can see whether a resource is Public or Private by looking into the resource’s information area, next to the resource’s title. You can then turn a resource public or private by clicking on “Edit Details” and selecting your preferred option.

Alternatively, you can click on the ‘Share’ option (visible once you click on “Toggle Controls” on the left-hand side) and select either the ‘Make Private’/’Make Public’ option.

Every GoConqr user has the option of searching the GoConqr library– this is the collection of all public resources. Others may study using your resources but you can use theirs. We think this approach is best as it allows for the cross-pollination of ideas and viewpoints which are beneficial for better learning.

If you are on Edit mode, you also have the option to switch from one to the other by clicking on the “Make Private/Public button that you will find along the top of the page.

Play mode is incredibly easy to use. When you are in view mode, you will see a little play button in the center of the frame. Clicking the play button will obviously set things in motion but you can also do a step by step play-through by clicking the arrow buttons on either side.

You can also adjust the speed at which it plays by adjusting the control to the left (yes, the little turtle and hare). I told you it was easy!

Once you know the logic behind how Mind Maps play you’ll easily be able to adjust it to suit your needs.

A Mind Map plays the central node first and then plays the first layer of nodes. It starts at 9 o’clock and works clockwise around the central node. Once it plays each node in the inner layer it moves on to the next layer. Once it has shown all nodes it then shows the images you have inserted in the same way.

Tracking allows you to easily tick off areas of a Mind Map or Note that you feel you know or that you have completed tasks for.

To access this feature, click “Show Tracking” button in the view mode of a Mind Map or Note.

You now have the ability to tick the corner of nodes or notes. Tick all the nodes or text boxes you have completed or learned. You will notice a small completion box appear on the resource showing an update of the % completed.

To see the completion rate without being in the resource, simple click the info symbol on the resource tile and the % complete rate will show as a pop up window.

Tracking on Mind Maps and Notes is a useful tool to track your progress as you work through your study material.

View mode allows you to see the finished version of your resources. It also helps you navigate through your resources to study smarter.

Underneath, you will see related resources and others created by the same author. What is suggested will depend on what resource you’re viewing. So, for example, if you are viewing a resource in your History subject you will see the other History resources.

Additional Functions

Click on the “Toggle Controls” arrows on the bottom left of the screen to view additional functions like Editing, Pinning to a Subject, Moving it to another folder, Sharing or Printing the resource.

Please note that once you have Pinned a resource, the Pin icon transforms into the “Move” icon. Unpin or move the resource into another Subject by clicking on it.

Click the icon on the bottom right-hand corner to enter the ‘full-screen’ mode. Full-screen will make the resource larger and, the edit screen will allow you to make changes to the resource. GoConqr saves automatically so you don’t need to worry about losing any changes you make.

In the centre of the frame you will see the play options for the resource. Using these controls is the best way to interact with your resources.

Information and Comments

Underneath the resource, you will find the resource’s Information and Comment sections. Here, you will see the resource’s Title, Who has created it, When it was created, its Description, related Tags and how many Views and Shares the resource has. Also, the Comments section will allow you to engage in discussions or share resources or other useful links.

GoConqr allows you to view your performance on Quizzes and Flashcards over time. Simply click on the “View Performance Stats” button at the completion of a Quiz or Flashcard deck.

This will provide 2 options, “My Attempts” and “Global Attempts”.

“My Attempts” displays your recent scores in a graphical format. Hover over the data point to see the score and date of the attempt on the graph. You are also provided with an average score from all your attempts.

“Global Attempts” is a feature that will be released very soon. This will enable you to see the range of scores from all attempts on the resource, not just your own. This will allow you to gauge your level of knowledge compared to the total GoConqr community.

A read-only share is like a snap-shot of your resource— your friend can’t edit it, just view it. A ‘copy and edit’ share allows your friend ( or whoever you share it with) to take a copy of your resource and then edit it as they see fit.

A history of revisions will be shown so you’ll know who has edited what.

GoConqr has a vast library of public learning resources. We have introduced tags to help you identify common/related resources. You can now add various tags to your resource which will act as a way of identifying related resources.

If you add a tag to a resource that has been used by another user, you will see similar resources on the “related” tab on the right-hand side of the screen on view mode.

Tags can describe the subject, exam or topic that you are studying/teaching. The more tags that you add to a resource, the more relevant content you will see.

Once a resource is public, you can easily embed it in a blog ( or any webpage).

When viewing a resource, click on the ‘Share’ option and you’ll be shown the embed code for that resource. Alternatively, you can also get the embed code from the Edit mode.

Insert this code into the HTML section of your blog and your readers will be able to interact with it no problem!

Note: A resource must be public before it can be embedded.

If for some some reason the embed code doesn’t work, make sure you paste it in as plain text and perhaps use the tags [iframe] embed code [/iframe]

Course Builder is an authoring tool that allows you to integrate and organise your learning resources in one place.

Courses allows you to sort your study material sequentially and store resources – whether Mind Maps, Notes, Flashcards, Slides or Quizzes – in a single package. You can share the courses you create with the members of any Group of which you are an administrator.

You can find Course Builder in the section “Courses” on the left-hand side of your Dashboard, just below your subjects. To see a list all your courses simply click the “show all” button.

You can also find resources allocated to a particular group using the “Courses” tab within a group in which you are a member.

By clicking “Resume” you can continue a course from exactly where you left off, meaning you can rapidly progress without having to start the course from scratch or go over old ground.

Go the “Courses” section on the left of your Dashboard under subjects.

Step 1: Create a New Course

If you want to create a course, simply click on the button “Create Course”. This will bring up a box with the heading “Course Settings”. Here you can add the name (or title) of your new course, together with the description and privacy settings.

First, we recommend that you fill in the basic information about your course by adding a title and description.

Once you’ve saved this information you will be brought to the course creation page where you can customise your course by adding the content you want.

• The “Add Title” button lets you can add the names and descriptions of the sections, chapters or topics that will be part of your course. The titles are a useful way of labeling the different parts of your course for easier navigation by readers.
• “Import resources” lets you attach any GoConqr resources you’d like to include in your course. You can import your own resources, or any public resources created by users and stored in the GoConqr Library (which you can access by entering search terms into the search bar). Note: It is very important that you add the final version of the resource you want to assign to your course since once it is added to the course, any external changes you make to that resource will not be reflected in your course.
• The “Preview” button shows you what your course looks like before you share it.
• “Assign” lets you share your course to a GoConqr Group (of which you must be an administrator).

Step 2: Editing a Course

After creating your course, you can edit and re-order it as you wish through the icons located to the right of each of the sections.

• The pencil icon allows you to change the title of your section or resources.
• The trashcan icon lets you delete paragraphs or resources.
• Vertical dots indicate that you can position a title or resource by simply dragging and dropping.
• The cogwheel icon is where you can access the General Course Settings.

Deleting a Course

To delete a course just click on the cogwheel icon. Once you access the General Settings Course you will see the red “Delete” button.

Note: Always be careful when deleting a course. The system will alert you when you choose to do so as a final warning, since anything you delete cannot be retrieved. Therefore make sure you only click “Delete” if you are absolutely sure you no longer need the material in question!

Assigning a course means sharing it with members of any GoConqr Group in which you are administrator. This is a very useful for encouraging collaborative learning and knowledge sharing with your students, colleagues or employees.

There are two ways by which you can assign a course to a Group:

Option 1. Through your list of courses

• A. Go to “Courses” on the left-hand side of your dashboard.
• B. Select the course you want to assign from your list using the “Assign” button located to the right of your course.
• C. This will bring you to a box where you can choose the Groups to which you can assign your course, along with the option to schedule when you want your course to be assigned and a field to enter instructions for course users when the course goes live.
• D. Note that you can also enable/disable the alert email to participants when the course starts the notification box.

Steps B and C:

Option 2. Through the Group you want to assign your course to

• A. Click on the “Courses” tab on the right side of the group you have chosen.
• B. Next, click on the “Assign” button located to the right of the screen.
• C. Choose one of your courses from the dropdown list, the start time at which you want your course to be assigned and instructions you wish to send to the participants by mail when the course goes live.

After performing either of these two steps, the system will alert you that the course has been successfully assigned. Although you can also manually check whether your course has been assigned to your group by going to the “Courses” tab.

Can I change a course I’ve already assigned?

You can change the settings of the courses that you have already assigned (such as the start date, instructions and email notifications).

To change the course settings, go to the Group to which you have assigned the course and click on the “Courses” tab. Choose the course you’d like to modify. To the right of the course you will see an icon with a cogwheel, which allows you to change the settings of the course, and another icon with a paper that lets you delete the Course Group.

Note: Please note that you can only assign courses to GoConqr Groups in which you are an Administrator. For details about creating Groups click here.

One of the most popular study methods is using Online Flashcards. If you have never created a Flashcard deck before, here’s a quick guide to help you get started:

What are Online Flashcards?

Online Flashcards, also known as as notecards or study cards, are two-sided cards that are used to study as they help improve memory and retention. They are mainly used to remember key facts, concepts, dates, formula, vocabulary but they can be applied in a number of areas.

How Do Online Flashcards Work?

On the first or front side, you insert a question, word, image etc. and on the reverse you add the explanation, translation, synonym or any other information you want to memorise. The possibilities are endless!

Below is an example of the front and reverse of a flashcard. On the front, there is an image with a natural phenomenon and the reverse shows its name, the Aurora Borealis:

How To Use Online Flashcards to Study

Once you have created your flashcard deck based on your study notes, you can review the cards one-by-one, guessing the answer on the reverse based on the information on the front of the card. As you go through this process, you can use the thumbs up, thumbs down buttons to indicate which cards you know or don’t know. The method is very simple and helps you memorise your learning curriculum easier and quicker.

Why Use Online Flashcards

In the past, Flashcards were made of paper or card but the widespread availability of technology means that you can now create and use virtual study resources which can be easily shared and won’t be lost or broken.

GoConqr’s online Flashcard tool allows you to access the study notes you create online from anywhere, on any device. In this way, you can take advantage of your downtime by reviewing your notes and maximising your study time.

Also, it’s very easy to mark which Flashcards you know, flip all cards in your deck, reorder and update your Online Flashcards with GoConqr.

If you have not tried ExamTime’s Flashcard tool before, you can start creating your first deck here.

The bell at the top of the screen on your GoConqr header is your notification bell.

The bell will light up whenever an action occurs, to notify you. This works in a similar way to the Facebook notifications and alerts you receive when a new friends has added you on GoConqr, someone has shared a resource with you or commented on one of your learning resources etc. Click on it to see your most recent GoConqr notifications.

The icon on the side of an alert (in the green area above) tells you which alerts you have not seen yet. You can mark them as read by clicking on the icon or on the “Mark all as read” option, if you have several alerts that you already know about.
