3. Concept Map Were you able to place all of your resources in the map? Was it easy to decide where to place your resources in the map?

4. Concept Map When placing resources how many concepts did you typically choose? Which of these branches did you always choose (leave blank if none) A) Classroom task type B) Learner Context C) Vocabulary D) Individual cultures and diffs E) Themes F) Skill G) Languages

5. Concept Map Did you ever choose to place a resource on a parent concept rather than the end of a branch? if so was it because: a) that was its natural place b) you couldn't distinguish between the sub-concepts c) it covered all of the sub concepts d) a sub concept you expected was not there e) other (comments please)

6. Concept Map Is the terminology in the map the same as you would use? If you disagreed then did you still recognise the terminology (was it unambiguous?) Does the concept map have the coverage that you would expect

7. Concept Map During the course of my task these are the ratings that I would give to working with the map: Layout of the concept map Attractiveness of the map tool Map tool was intuitive to work with I new where I was in the concept map tool Ease of navigation in the concept map tool Ease of backtracking and starting again in the concept map tool

8. Discussion Some Comments Raised: Tool –Could we combine concept maps and search tools? –Does the concept map tool show enough of the map at once? –Would it be useful to bookmark locations in the map? –Alternative views – lists and sublists – what about accessibility? Concept map approach –Disproportionate size of the concepts (many LOs under few concepts?) –Initial Filters (Language) might be useful –Multiple options for placement – how to optimise for people browsing?
