System maps are visual representations of your knowledge domain,
where proximity and connections between entities are used to express
the relationships between them. System maps can be descriptive or
conceptual.
Mind maps or concept maps are examples of the more conceptual
system maps. So are process maps. All of these maps help to organize
concepts and entities, and they are often used to communicate the key
vocabulary of your domain.

Type
Description
Knowledge Maps
Graph representing what knowledge
resides where, shows knowledge flow
patterns. Directory of where to go for
expertise and how assets are connected.
(SDC Knowledge Toolkit)
Group Concept Maps*
Novak 1970. Group ideas visualized
about specific topic of interest.
Structured. Brainstorming, Relational.
Participatory. Multiple ideas.
Learning/Research in given topic/context.
Concept Maps
Trokim 1980s. Capture and archive expert
tacit knowledge concepts graphically.
Gaps easy to spot and revisit with SME.
Mind Maps
Buzan 1970s. Diagram used to depict
facets of single topic with categories and
subs radiating off of it. Individualized.
7. Concept Mapping as KM Tool
Tacit and Explicit Transformed in
Context
Assess
8. Group Concept Mapping
Can transform
understanding
of complex
issues and
processes and
be visually
memorable for
tacit and
explicit capture
and application.
9. a good concept map is at once simple,
but also elegantly complex with profound
meanings. Concept mapping has been
shown to help learners learn, researchers
create new knowledge, administrators to
better
structure
and
manage
organizations, writers to write, and
evaluators assess learning.

10. Components
What Are Group Concept Maps?
Graphical tools for organizing and visualizing knowledge
Based on concepts and the relationships links by connecting lines
Linking words or phrases describe the relationship between two concepts
2-dimensional node-links depict most important concepts and relationships
Hierarchical
Context established by Focus Question and how knowledge and learning is
being applied
Cross-links show relationships to concepts in different segments or domains on
the map crucial to the creation, realization and application of new knowledge
Can include specific examples of events or objects that clarify of a given concept

#4: Maps help us to see thing in perspective, see activities an events in relationship to each other. IOW the Big Picture. This NASA i image map isdepicting dust, wind and majorgeological events that impact each other. Like group concept maps or concept/process maps, this map graphically depicts how how the concepts interact and influence one another.
