Drag an image directly onto VUE and it will add it to the empty map

Continue by adding your next image to the concept map

Click on the link tool

A text box will appear between the link once it is established; which can be used to describe the significance of the link (what relation it may have to the main image). Continue this process until you have added and linked the appropriate number of images for the assignment.

After selecting the link tool, left click on the first image and drag your pointer to the second. As your pointer approaches the second image and arrow will form; release the left-click on your mouse and the link will be established.
