"
At LexIcon Systems, we create interactivity, useful interactivity, interactivity that helps people understand and learn. It could be pre-existing material (text, video, graphics) repurposed into a value-added instructional experience. It could be web-delivered training available for one user or one thousand. Whether working with university researchers, large businesses, or publishers, the issue is the same: How can we use technology in a way that makes sense?" |
| Observations: |
Rather old site having various graphic organizers of the types used in education, including fish-bone charts, organization charts, time lines, idea web and so on. The idea web is close to a mind map or bubble diagram. On-line, but not collaborative. |

"
The MOT acronym means "Modeling using Object Types". A knowledge model is similar to a concept map, except that it is based on a typology of links and knowledge objects.
Base on cognitive and educational science research, four basic types of knowledge entities are distinguished (facts, concepts, procedure and principles). Concepts (or classes of objects), procedures (or classes of actions) and principles (or classes of statements, properties or rules) are the primitive objects of the MOT graphical language. The type of the object is represented by geometrical figures, where each class or individual (facts) is represented by a name within the figure.
The MOT and MOTPlus software allows to build a graphic representation of knowledge or ''mindmaps'' in different fields of knowledge and to underline the relations among the knowledge units. Using the primitive set of knowledge types and links in MOT, it is possible to build the following categories of models:
• conceptual models: conceptual map, class/sub-class hierarchies, "parts-of" hierarchies
• procedural models: sequential procedures, parallel procedures, flowcharts (iterative procedures)
• prescriptive models: integrity constraints, laws and theories, decision trees, control structures
• processes and methods: analysis, synthesis and collaborative (distributed) processes
These software possesses sophisticated graphic functionalities. MOTplus adds to the basic MOT editor powerful multi-domain and layered editing capacities, as well as labeling functions to facilitate knowledge modeling by teams. The latest version enables you to build learning design compliant to the IMS-LD specification and export it to that format with validation. It also enables the graphic construction of ontologies compliant to the OWL-DL standard." |

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?
Here's a link to my main Knol entitled "mind mapping". There are cross reference items on related terms as well.
Here's a link to my main Knol entitled "Concept map". There are cross reference items on related terms as well.
This is the start of a historical survey of visual mapping. It kicks off with one well-known classic example, and follows up with a very interesting map that has more recently come to my attention. I've written about origins of mind mapping before, but now I'm assembling samples. I've also mentioned elsewhere (see the comments) that I'd like to get samples of Idea Sunbursting that Dr. Perusek wrote to me about.
There's a lot to like in the (unrestrained!) enthusiasm this author shows for Mindmaps. [Vic]
