Definitionen

Information maps are complete node-link maps usually produced by an expert to communicate about a topic. These maps, which can substitute for or supplement other presentation formats (e.g., text), are typically provided to users and/or learners as reference, navigation, and/or learning aids. In terms of the theme of this book, these types of maps are most closely related to the notion of information visualization.

Von Donald F. Dansereau im Buch Knowledge and Information Visualization (2005) im Text Node-Link Mapping Principles for Visualizing Knowledge and Information

Dansereau (in this book) distinguishes three types of nodelink mapping approaches with different practical use:

Information maps are expert generated maps used for the presentation of information, as well as for orientation and navigation,
guided maps are maps constructed by novice users with the help of a construction template,
and freestyle maps are maps generated by users in a self-regulated manner.

Bemerkungen

Information maps have a positive impact on cooperative learning activities (Patterson, Dansereau & Newbern, 1992; Patterson et al., 1993; Rewey et al., 1989).

Students recall more main ideas from an information map than from corresponding text although there are no significant differences on the recall of details (Hall, Dansereau & Skaggs, 1992; Rewey, Dansereau, Skaggs, Hall & Pitre, 1989; Rewey, Dansereau & Peel, 1991).

Students with low verbal ability or low prior knowledge often benefit the most from information maps (Lambiotte & Dansereau, 1992; Lambiotte, Skaggs & Dansereau, 1993; O’Donnell & Dansereau, 1992; O’Donnell, Dansereau, Hall, Skaggs, Hythecker, Peel & Rewey, 1990; Rewey et al., 1989; Patterson, Dansereau & Wiegmann, 1993).
