Inspiration 8 is now available as a free for 3 days download.  One major
difference is that Inspiration files in version 8 can be exported to
Word for further editing...

G'day

I've been putting this off for a LONG time but I finally had to face the

perplexing task 3 of ITA U4O1. Now that I know it has to be done with 
software (thanks for the clarification, Paula!), I started with Word's 
drawing tools and rapidly gave it up as a joke.

Then, Inspiration struck me literally. I've never used it beyond a 4 
minute fiddle and a yawn, but I had a play today and it's quite nifty 
for U4O1 task 3.

Attached please find a (rather large - 211K - apologies in advance) JPG 
with an attempt at what I THINK the study design wants.  Frankly, I'm 
guessing madly about this.

I've only seen one other example of this sort of visualisation stuff (in

the Potts book) and was greatly underwhelmed by it.  It didn't seem to 
be showing anything about thinking or decisions.

Has anyone else thought about U4O1 Task 3?  Is this how you see task 3 
looking??

BTW I used Inspiration 6 (published 1999!) but it seems to do quite 
well.  The source file is attached too if you want to fiddle with my 
starting point.  Suggestions are more than welcome.
