Discussion
-
Why concept maps? They help authors figure out what they want to teach, give other instructors a quick overview of a lesson, and allow learners to check that they have constructed the right mental model.
-
What about translations? We hope eventually to be able to store translated text in the
.drawiofiles. For now, please copy an existing diagram and save it in the appropriate language directory (e.g.,af/topic.svgfor concept maps in Afar). -
Why SVG? Because vector diagrams rescale much more smoothly than raster images.
-
Why not use color? Or more shapes? Or…? The simpler these diagrams are, the easier they will be to maintain. Simple diagrams also display better on smaller or older devices.
-
Why not use Graphviz, DiagrammeR, or some other tool that compiles text into diagrams?
- It’s hard to get their automatic layout algorithms to do as good a job as a person can do.
- They have a much steeper learning curve, which means fewer people will be able to contribute.
- They don’t actually make version control easier (reading and understanding the textual description of a diagram is as hard as viewing two diagrams side by side).
