The power of VUE’s slide mode is the ability for presenters to focus on content (slide view) while preserving the information’s context (map view), by way of a single toggle between the two views. The pathways feature also provides a “slide view” of the information on the map.

Sharing and presenting information are important aspects of academic work. Digital content can be accessed via the Web, or using the VUE’s “Resources” panel to tap into digital repositories, FTP servers and local file systems.

They include concepts, usually enclosed in circles or boxes of some type, and relationships between concepts indicated by a connecting line linking two concepts". The use of the term 'concept mapping' by the Vue website refers to the version of concept mapping used by Novak and Cañas (2008): "Concept maps are graphical tools for organizing and representing knowledge.
