Review - Erika Bsumek, Matt O’Hair, Ian Diaz, Braeden Kennedy. ClioVis.

Abstract

ClioVis is online software that provides a multi-visualization tool for creating digital mindmaps, timelines,
and presentations in the classroom. University of Texas-Austin historian Erika Bsumek created ClioVis to
be used across academic disciplines, but its use as a timeline tool lends itself well to engaging students in the
history classroom. ClioVis is designed to be collaborative, allowing students to edit and contribute to a timeline
simultaneously. There is a no-cost basic version, while other versions are available with flexible paid subscription
options. Instructors can embed ClioVis in Canvas or other LMSs (typically in the paid version), but instructors
can reach out to the Bsumek and her team and discuss different use cases that can be made available through freeto
fee-based options.
