1. The document discusses different types of concept mapping including mind maps, relation maps, and structure maps. 2. It also covers topics like using paper vs software, training approaches, and different types of constraints for concept mapping like architectural, rhetorical, and relational constraints. 3. The key aspects of each mapping type are defined, such as mind maps being used to cluster thoughts, relation maps relating concepts in pairs, and structure maps representing syntactic structures.

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
