Much has been written about mind and concept maps, and their effectiveness as both teaching and learning tools. (See Buzan, Novak, or Bennett, etc.)
In an attempt to model DI, I recently offered some Seminary students I work with the option of completing a comprehensive concept or mind map rather than a linear write-up for a book review they prepared for me as part of a Principles and Practices of Teaching class at Tyndale. I was pleased that two of the students chose to complete the assignment in this format, and in fact, did rather a great job of it!!
