Concept maps for all lessons #592

Open SonOfLilit opened 10 years ago

SonOfLilit commented 10 years ago

I'm not sure if this is wanted, but I made them for myself so I'm sharing them and you decide.

The diff also contains a warning about colrm not always being installed.

@SonOfLilit Could you please break-out the fix about colrm, that is immediately mergeable.

gdevenyi commented 9 years ago

@gvwilson This isn't just concept maps for shell, it's actually for a bunch of things.

Do we want to include concept maps in lessons? I thought they were more of a learning tool, rather than a teaching tool.

gvwilson commented 9 years ago

Several instructors have said they'd find concept maps useful as a guide to them for teaching the lessons, so yeah, if people are willing to construct, critique, and maintain them, I'd be happy to include them.

gdevenyi commented 9 years ago

Perhaps this material should go in an instructor's guide.

Probably needs to be broken up due to #759

SonOfLilit commented 9 years ago

I'll just say that my students found it useful that I introduced the "magic words" in each lesson at the beginning (with a sentence about each one's role), and then went over them again at the end to make sure they all understand them now. Of course, an instructor can easily not use it.

+1 I've had experiences with this as well.

Just a thought if we want to include concept maps: should we write them using Ditaa? This way the diffs are less crazy

SonOfLilit commented 9 years ago

Did you look at mine (sources, not rendered versions)?

dot does a pretty good job with them in my opinion, and the diffs are great.

oops! didn't see those. Yes that is probably much better than solution :)

I vote for doing a handful using anything at all, putting them in front of learners, and seeing if they find them useful, then worrying about tooling... :-)
