RoadMapTools for developing learning resources

The RoadMapTools have been developed by Rodney Carr, Deakin University Faculty of Business and Law. They are a set of tools for making concept maps using PowerPoint. The idea is that slides correspond to concepts, with, as appropriate, related concepts (slides) linked using normal hyperlinking. Images of slides appear on other slides to provide a visual impression of the concept map and to assist navigation.

The Tools along with some examples of their use can be found at: www.deakin.edu.au/~rodneyc/roadmaptools.html. They can be used for concept mapping for the development of unit learning resources, e.g. digital study guide material, lecture presentations. Rodney Carr discusses the value of concept mapping using the RoadMapTools in his online teaching case study on this site: http://www.deakin.edu.au/itl/teach-learn/cases/files/participants/carr.php.
