Abstract

In our last issue we introduced concept mapping and mindmapping as learning and assessment tools. We discussed the context in which we decided to use these devices in “Scientific Thinking”, a course designed for freshmen. We highlighted the difference between the two mapping methods, described how they are created, and made suggestions as to how they can be incorporated in your courses. We emphasized that our approach to mapping was a hybrid approach that integrated the powerful visual cues of mindmapping into concept maps.
