Concept Map Assignment

Individually, create your own concept map using technology. The Concept Map is a technique used as a
personal and individual progressive learning tool to support and promote your understanding of the course
content.

Concept maps are pictures that that show how ideas relate to each other. In a concept map, ideas are
represented as nodes, and the relationships between them as links with descriptive labels.

Concept maps can be very large and complex—and they can be very small and simple. You can use concept
maps to capture, communicate, and simplify very complex ideas. You can even use a concept map
to describe what a concept map is.

This is why creating concept maps can help you learn. In fact, there are at least 3 ways concept maps support
learning. Concept maps help you build better understanding, be realistic about what you know (and what you
don’t), and they help you figure out what you need to study further. https://www.globalcognition.org/3-ways-
concept-maps-help-you-learn/

First Part (11%) Concept Map (visual map using technology). Follow the criteria below:

Instructions

To help you start, here are some links to create Concept Maps:

1.

 Sample of concepts maps. For assistance and understanding of a concept map, please
view https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/concept-map

 How to create a concept map: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZJj6DwCqSU

2. At the beginning of course your will develop your own map, hand drawn, that indicates what your
are bringing to the course as far as your own understanding and experiences to date. Add topics to
the map that you find interesting. You do not need to add every class topic to the map. Add sub-
topics and demonstrate linkage.

3. During the course, you are encouraged to revisit your map and make changes as you go. This process
supports your own learning and helps to layer your understanding to a deeper level.

4. You can adjust your map as often as you want throughout the course – there is no right or wrong,
simply effort.
5. At the course conclusion, you will have created a final Concept Map, from which you draw your own
comparison of your personal learning journey when viewing your concept map.

6. Organization, add linkage, cross linkage, and text. Is the map easy to follow?

ADD COLOUR to the map to help organize the concepts.

7. Concept Map must use technology. Hand drawn maps are not accepted for final assignment.

SEE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS DOCUMENT: Samples of concepts maps.

The map will be graded on organization, visual, neatness, colour, text & design, content linkage &
cross linkages.

Second part (11%) is a support document where you will have 2 choices, either:

1. Do a voice over the concept map 6-8min.

Or

2. A written part of the concept map 4-6 pgs. Double spaced, 12 font, and one inch margin.

The second part of the assignment is a personal reflection paper that analyzes the activity of the course. You
must include six sources, using APA style for citations and references. The sources may be from any of the
lectures, readings, speakers, videos, podcasts etc. Include all statements/questions below to your reflection.

1 The document/voice over, addresses what you have learned and how your own ideas have changed.

2 Combine the concept map with your reflection. Discuss topic and subtopics. How ideas connect. How
topics link and cross link.

3 Is there any area you need to further study? Why?

4 Describe the changes, and what influenced your thinking.

5 Where do you fit in the map? What did you learn about yourself? Future work? Review your Self
Location Assignment.

What will you do with this information learned?

7 Provide a conclusion! Your conclusion should focus on bringing your piece together by providing a
summary of the points made throughout, and what you have learned as a result.
