Abstract Mind maps that combine text, images, color and layout elements, have been widely used in classroom teaching to improve retention, knowledge organization and conceptual understanding. Furthermore, studies have shown the advantages of using mind maps to facilitate collaborative learning. However, there are gaps in the literature regarding the use and study of collaborative mind mapping in online learning settings. This integrated-article dissertation explores the implementation of online collaborative mind mapping activities in a mathematics teacher education program at a Canadian university. The studies were developed with participants enrolled in three different courses where at least two of the online activities used collaborative mind mapping for knowledge construction.

  • Utilizing Mind-Maps for Information Retrieval and User Modelling
    Preprint, to be published at UMAP 2014. Downloaded from http://docear.org Utilizing Mind-Maps for Information Retrieval and User Modelling Joeran Beel1,2, Stefan Langer1,2, Marcel Genzmehr1, Bela Gipp1,3 1 Docear, Magdeburg, Germany 2 Otto-von-Guericke University, Magdeburg, Germany 3 University of California, Berkeley, USA {beel | langer | genzmehr | gipp}@docear.org Abstract. Mind-maps have been widely neglected by the information retrieval (IR) community. However, there are an estimated two million active mind-map users, who create 5 million mind-maps every year, of which a total of 300,000 is publicly available. We believe this to be a rich source for information retriev- al applications, and present eight ideas on how mind-maps could be utilized by them. For instance, mind-maps could be utilized to generate user models for recommender systems or expert search, or to calculate relatedness of web-pages that are linked in mind-maps. We evaluated the feasibility of the eight ideas, based on estimates of the number of available mind-maps, an analysis of the content of mind-maps, and an evaluation of the users’ acceptance of the ideas. We concluded that user modelling is the most promising application with re- spect to mind-maps. A user modelling prototype – a recommender system for the users of our mind-mapping software Docear – was implemented, and evalu- ated. Depending on the applied user modelling approaches, the effectiveness, i.e. click-through rate on recommendations, varied between 0.28% and 6.24%. This indicates that mind-map based user modelling is promising, but not trivial, and that further research is required to increase effectiveness.

  • How to Integrate Evernote with Mind Mapping Applications
    How to integrate Evernote with mind mapping applications Since its launch in 2008, Evernote has evolved into a powerful tool for taking notes and capturing all types of digital content. Its growth rate has been amazing; as of February of this year, it has over 50 million users, with 100,000 a day signing up for it. Developers of mind mapping and visual thinking applications have embraced Evernote, integrating with it in a number of different ways. In this report, I will provide you with an overview of the desktop- and web-based mind mapping and visual thinking applications that integrate with Evernote. I will describe how they work together and the pros and cons of each developer’s approach. As a writer, I have a strong personal interest in this topic. I have been using Evernote for several years as my primary tool for capturing content ideas. I also do a significant amount of writing within it, mainly because Evernote does a fantastic job of giving me instant access to all of my notes no matter where I go or what computing platform I’m using. I also find it useful for Evernote-Mind Map Integration Page 2 gathering research for reports I’m working on. Evernote’s web clipper enables me to quickly and easily capture all or part of any web page, tag it and store it in a folder of my choice. So naturally, for larger reports and projects, I’m keenly interested in developing new ways to incorporate the great content and ideas I’ve gathered in Evernote into my mind maps.

  • Profiling a Mind Map User: a Descriptive Appraisal
    Journal of Instructional Pedagogies Profiling a mind map user: a descriptive appraisal Joanne M. Tucker Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania Gary R. Armstrong Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania Victor J. Massad Kutztown University of Pennsylvania Abstract Whether created manually or through the use of software, a non -linear information organization framework known as mind mapping offers an alternative method for capturing thoughts, ideas and information to lin ear thinking modes, such as outlining. Mind mapping is used in education, government and business as a creative method that is useful in training, brainstorming, organizing and problem solving. This paper examines mind mapping techniques, advantages and di sadvantages of hand -drawn maps and using mind mapping software. Several mind-mapping software applications are compared on a number of product dimensions. Survey results provide a descriptive profile of mind map users in education, government and business sectors. Keywords: mind mapping, mind mapping software, mind map user profile Profiling a mind map user, Page 1 Journal of Instructional Pedagogies Introduction to Mind Maps The mind mapping technique, along with the term “mind map,” originated with popular psychology author Tony Buzan (1970), who developed the technique as a way of helping people to learn more effectively. His work is partly based on the pioneering brain research of the 50’s as well as left/right brain work by Roger Wolcott Sperry (1968) which was later refined by Robert Ornstein (1977). The bod y of this research indicates that the human brain responds best to key words, images, colors, and direct association. Buzan refined these ideas into a simple set of rules that can be followed to create a maze of information known as a mind map.

  • A Framework for Access and Use of Documentary Heritage at the National Archives of Zimbabwe
    A FRAMEWORK FOR ACCESS AND USE OF DOCUMENTARY HERITAGE AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF ZIMBABWE by FORGET CHATERERA submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Literature and Philosophy in the subject Information Science at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR P. NGULUBE CO-SUPERVISOR: DOCTOR A. RODRIGUES July 2017 SUMMARY The study sought to develop a framework for access and use of documentary heritage at the National Archives of Zimbabwe (NAZ). This followed the realization that access and use is the raison d'être for national archival institutions yet the level of utilization has for a long time been lamented to be low. The researcher therefore took a holistic approach and investigated the issues of bibliographic, intellectual and physical access to archives. Using a grounded theory research approach framed within the constructivism ontology and the interpretivism epistemological research paradigm, this study employed the observation technique, interviews and content analysis to collect the empirical evidence that was needed to develop a framework for access and use of the documentary heritage in the custody of NAZ. The study extensively discussed the methodological issues involved in the study as grounded theory is a rarely used approach in Information Science studies. An extensive discussion was therefore offered to enable readers to follow and appreciate how the not so common approach was actually employed. The findings of the study showed that the position of NAZ as a public information resource centre was threatened by many obstacles that were compromising the accessibility and use of the documentary heritage in its custody.

  • Asana Is Marketed As a Project Management Software That Allows Collaborators to Work Together on Multiple Projects
    Asana Asana is marketed as a project management software that allows collaborators to work together on multiple projects. The app is available on iOS, Android, and web, and it is primarily designed for business teams (although can be used without business affiliation). Its ability for project visualization lies in a note-card style interface called Kanban boards, combined with a work-flow style task completion ability. One can create categories based on project sections, can move these categories around, and for each category, can create notecards representing sub-sections or tasks. On the back of each notecard, users can provide descriptions, specify tasks and sub-tasks, delegate tasks to different project members, attach documents, and comment on the notecard. This allows the user to take their project visualization (notecard-style) and turn it into a robust series of to-dos that help the user take their project from visualization to completion. Its collaborative features allow mentors and mentees to work together on a project in its initial stages, before words are on the page—a crucial time for mentorship in the writing process, but one that is also rife with potential confusion and misunderstanding on both parts. This kind of project visualization/management app can help with that. Points in favor: • The ability for workflow creation: making to do lists, pulling tasks into “in progress” stages, and moving tasks to a done list allows users to be mindful of how much they are taking on at once, and how much they’ve done. This can drive motivation in useful ways.
