What they say:  " Branching Story Authoring Software is a web-based tool that allows instructional designers to create, modify, share and collaborate on branching stories behind immersive training simulations. Branching story is created using intuitive graphical user interface. You can arrange different colored containers that represent characters, dialogs, choices and actions. By doing so, you define simulation flow. Clicking on each container produces a pop-up window with textual data and other details for that simulation point, such as dialogs text, trainee choices, assessment for each choice, score, etc.

The interface provides easy visualization of the entire story, as well as access to details at any point. Since the tool is web-based, the branching story is accessable to all authorized personnel who is working on the simulation for review and, if authorized, for modifications."
Observations:  Part of ICTS, Hortus is the branching story authoring component. It is software that allows users to create a map of simulation flow for communication / branching story based simulations. Pricing is complicated. Hortus: subscription $50/mth; purchase $395. ICTS: hosted $5,000.00 setup (incl. 6 months hosting / support); thereafter $200/month; purchase $10,000+

What they say:  " Collaborative Knowledge Management (or CKM) is a tool that helps you create company's knowledge base in a collaborative environment, engage employees and help them visualize complex processes or procedures by using interactive graphical interface. The system works as a graphical wiki-style knowledge base, where information is linked to flowcharts and diagrams illustrating business processes, procedures or structures. The flowcharts can be created and reviewed by a geographically dispersed team in a synchronous collaborative environment of Second Life, and / or individually on the web -- web and Second Life interface are completely compatible -- team members can migrate from one to another for creating, updating and reviewing information.

cKM utilizes drill-down approach: each container in the flowchart along with the text information, web links and landmarks (in Second Life) can contain other flowcharts."
Observations:  Alternative pricing: $1,500.00 one time fee if the web area / database is hosted on your network.

Concept maps and web research

For me, web research and concept maps are a good pairing. As I research - I build a map. As I map - I realise new areas that need research.
This papers variously by Arguedas, CaƱas, Carnot, Carvalho, Dunn, Eskridge, Gram, Leake, Maguitman, Muldoon and Reichherzer have helped me to understand why, and see other possibilities.

Assessment by concept map

This piece discusses the nature of knowledge, the difficulty in measuring achievement in the three types of domain knowledge, and how concept maps offer one way of judging students' knowledge structure.

Framework for mind mapping

Here is a link to a set of free templates for many types of mind maps. This is good solid stuff, and if you have MindManager, there's no reason not to get it.
But if you don't have MindManager, well, there's still no reason to hold back - go and pick up the MindManager Viewer from MindJet's site. That is also free.


Knowledge mapping for communities

Here's an interesting slideshow in which authors Simon Buckingham Shum and Alexandra Okada make a case for a move away from text towards knowledge or mind mapping presentation in a knowledge community. Their objective is to change cognition, no less.

Visual mapping and recession-proofing your job

It looks like businesses are in for a tough time in 2008 and beyond. If your employer downsizes, how can you take steps to make sure you're one of the survivors?
