Introduction to communication mind maps

These mind maps organize communication topics into connected branches. Components of Communication brings together people, messages, channels, feedback and noise. Nonverbal Messages explores nonverbal communication and its relationship with verbal messages. Other maps consider codes, media literacy and mass communication.

Follow the branches

For a broad starting point, try Types of communication. It groups formal and informal communication with forms such as written, verbal and sign languages. If you want to focus on how messages move between people, use Components of Communication instead.

As you read, cover a branch and explain its connections in your own words. Return to any terms you cannot explain clearly, then compare them with another map on the same topic. When you want to check your understanding or practice recalling terms, switch to a quiz or flashcards on the unit page.

Pick a map that matches the topic you are studying and explore its branches.
