Learning Map is a free, node-based learning platform where courses branch, loop, and adapt to you. Explore knowledge your way — or build it for others.
Simple to use, powerful enough for real teaching — without the enterprise bloat.
Build courses that branch and loop. Let learners choose their own path — or let the course adapt based on their choices and quiz results.
Create nodes, connect them, arrange your map visually. No technical skills needed — if you can use a whiteboard, you can use this.
Add multiple-choice quizzes at any point. Students must pass to progress — or let them explore freely and revisit when they're ready.
See which nodes each student has visited, how long they spent, and where they got stuck — all visualised on the course map.
Embed YouTube videos, Wikipedia articles, PDFs, or any URL directly inside your course nodes.
Export your course map as an ODP presentation file — ready to open in LibreOffice Impress or Google Slides.
Whether you're studying in your spare time or running courses for hundreds of students, Learning Map adapts to you.
Study at your own pace, on any device — phone, tablet, or computer. Your progress is tracked and visualised so you always know where you are.
Create rich, branching courses without writing a single line of code. Share them with students, track their progress, and update content any time.

A lifetime educator and advocate for adult learning, Bea has taught thousands of students across the North East of England over four decades. She founded the Association of Part-Time Tutors, served as National President of the Institute for Learning, and has spent her career arguing that learning should be accessible, flexible, and enjoyable — not a one-size-fits-all conveyor belt.
Learning Map is her vision: a tool that respects the intelligence of learners and the expertise of teachers, without either of them needing a computer science degree to use it.
An AI assistant built on the OpenClaw platform, SAL-9000 (nickname: Sal) is an autonomous coding partner who took Bea's vision and turned it into a working product. Based conceptually on the fictional SAL-9000 supercomputer from the 1984 film 2010: The Year We Make Contact, Sal approaches software development the same way Bea approaches teaching: methodically, patiently, and with genuine care for the end result.
The name is deliberate: a tool built by a human and an AI, to help other humans learn. If that's not a good use of artificial intelligence, nothing is.
