Frequently Asked Questions about Lesson Plan Mapping
Addressing common concerns about document processing and instructional visualization.
Can I upload proprietary or sensitive curriculum documents?
Yes. We prioritize data security. Your uploaded documents are processed exclusively to generate the visual mind map structure and are not stored or used for training purposes after processing.
What if my lesson plan outline is very long or detailed?
CogniGuide excels at diagramming complex systems. Our AI is engineered to handle lengthy inputs (like full course modules) and distill them into manageable, expandable hierarchical structures within the mind map.
I need to change specific activities after the map is generated. Can I edit it?
The initial output is a powerful AI-generated diagram based on your input. While we focus on powerful conversion, you can export the structure (PNG/PDF) for final manual touches outside the tool.
Is the final mind map export suitable for printing and sharing with colleagues?
Absolutely. You can export your visual concept map as a high-resolution PNG or PDF, ensuring clarity whether you are presenting it to administration or using it as a master visual aid.
