Focuses on the process by which manually crafting interactive,
hypertextual maps clarifies one's own understanding, communicates
it to others, and enables collective intelligence. The authors see
mapping software as visual tools for reading and writing in a
networked age. In an information ocean, the challenge is to find
meaningful patterns around which we can weave plausible narratives.
Maps of concepts, discussions and arguments make the connections
between ideas tangible - and critically, disputable. With 22
chapters from leading researchers and practitioners (5 of them new
for this edition), the reader will find the current
state-of-the-art in the field. Part 1 focuses on knowledge maps for
learning and teaching in schools and universities, before Part 2
turns to knowledge maps for information analysis and knowledge
management in professional communities, but with many cross-cutting
themes: * reflective practitioners documenting the most effective
ways to map * conceptual frameworks for evaluating representations
* real world case studies showing added value for professionals *
more experimental case studies from research and education * visual
languages, many of which work on both paper and with software *
knowledge cartography software, much of it freely available and
open source * visit the companion website for extra resources:

will be of interest to learners, educators, and researchers in all
disciplines, as well as policy analysts, scenario planners,
knowledge managers and team facilitators. Practitioners will find
new perspectives and tools to expand their repertoire, while
researchers will find rich enough conceptual grounding for further
scholarship.
