3. Mapping Decision Matrix 0904002 ________________________ Software vs. tangibles -tangibles first, because quick, and to encourage revisions (paper is cheap) -software for presentation, sharing, editing, beauty _______________________________ Training -extensive contained warmups -for Teacher's observation -L's need support? -L's need constraint? -for peer commenting -look quickly at shapes only -look carefully at node content and links Mapping type mind maps / relation maps (Novakian) / structure maps 1. Mind maps -for amassing 'thoughts' -relations only by association -for rearranging, clustering, prioritizing (software good for this) 2. Relation maps (Novakian maps) -for relating concepts in articulately related pairs -CMC debate going on now about declarative reading or not (cf. Tifi) 3. Structure maps (e.g. ISmaps) -for representation of syntactic structures at the level of -sentence -paragraph -short technical summary articles -not necessarily one unified map -background information may be -a separate map -a layer (font color, sidebar, etc.) -persuasion may be 'picture frames' or title bars or submaps Constraint 1. Architectural constraint - by size - by content 2. Rhetorical constraint -by rhetorical device limitations 3. Relational constraint -by Novakianism Software vs. tangibles Training Mapping type Constraint
