How to Make a Bubble Map Online

Drawing diagrams of problems or relationships provides a powerful way to visualize them. Bubble maps are a means to visualize the terms that describe or quantify a central concept. Such maps take the form of a central circle with additional circles surrounding it and connected by a line that signifies a relationship between the two. The concept or term that is the subject of the map appears in the center circle, while the terms (a word or short phrase) that describe the subject are placed in the outer circles.
