Details

A mind map is a visual representation of keywords, phrases, ideas and sources arranged around a central concept or subject using a graphical layout. A mind map is usually created by starting with a central theme/main idea in the middle of the page and working outwards in all directions to create a growing diagram composed of your notations. A mind map has many uses, including brainstorming, taking notes, planning an essay, researching a topic, problemsolving, and revising for an exam. An annotated mind map is a mind map that includes sources and a reference list.

For this assignment, you will create an annotated mind map by using a visual tool to map thinkers, concepts and sources covered in the first five weeks of the course to develop and demonstrate your understanding of the key scholars, ideas and contributions to the interdisciplinary field of digital cultures. You must select one thinker or one concept from the thinkers and concepts from weeks 25, identified each week in the weekly modules and in one list on this page.

You may use a range of digital tools and nondigital tools. Your completed mind map must be submitted as an electronic file to the Canvas assignment box in. Digital tools are suggested below.

Your mind map must use images, text and lines (nodes) to indicate relations between items. You must show three levels (minimum) of subtopics from your central topic. Your mind map should summarise, explain and evaluate connections using a combination of explanatory text and graphics. You must include any intext citations and a reference list (13 academic sources).

Some examples of digital tools for mindmapping:

Edraw (mind map software)*

Mindmup (a website dedicated to mindmap creation)

Canva (a graphic design, cloudbased tool, has mind map templates)

bubble.us (a graphic design, cloudbased tool, has mind map templates)
