Comapping

I'm not sure that mindmapping is actually the best place for this on Shambles ... I suspect that it mmight be better listed under 'collaboration' solutions ... you decide ... they even have specific advice for educators.

The Art of Arguing, Visualized : aMap
http://mashable.com/2009/01/26/the-art-of-arguing-visualized/
The Art of Arguing, Visualized
In practice, it’s a neat interactive visualization, with the argument being in the centre, and the discussion stemming around it.
www.amap.org.uk/
aMap is short for 'argument map'. The idea's very simple - to get more people arguing by mapping out complex debates in a simple visual format.
Although aMaps can be used just for fun, we’re keen for teachers / lecturers to use aMaps to be used in the classroom / seminar room to help students improve / develop their reasoning and critical thinking in their essay writing and verbal communication.
