A long time ago, Alan [invited](https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/please-say-hello-n-h-o-guten-tag-kia-ora-hola-sveiki-ahoj-bonjour-namaste/14/102) me to share about my tool, but I did not have an educational example. Now I have recorded a screencast:

[![](https://connect.oeglobal.org/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5eb42ad0de53ac7eec1ab351fd04d94258e8925f.jpeg "map a topic") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEvLxuJmLTk)

Basically, the tool tries to overcome the one-page paradigm, and it leverages ballistic eye-saccades, to overcome the ‘split attention’ effect of the Cognitive Load Theory.

Thanks for remember that request, Matthias, and thanks for the screencast - I hope you do not mind, I took the liberty of moving the link to your YouTube video to an embed, so easily done in our platform by entering it’s URL on a blank line and pressing return.

For some context, the tool is your [Thought Condensr](http://condensr.de/), correct?

Also, because little details are curious to me- what is meaning of the “x28” in your username and [blog URL](https://x28newblog.wordpress.com/)? Ahhm I found [the story](https://x28newblog.wordpress.com/2006/03/11/acronyms-and-blog-names/), that is brilliant. I invite others to read it for themselves.

Yes, it’s my Condensr, and I am very curious what educators think about it. (Many of the Tools-For-Thought folks don’t like it because you have to do the thinking for yourself.)
