Concept mapping: an effective way to organize information

Concept mapping helps represent the available information visually in a comprehensive and clear manner. This is an easy way to gather and communicate information.

A particularly good method to organize information about a specific subject or problem is concept mapping. Concept mapping arranges the existing information in a form of a web diagram, or “concept map”. Typically, a concept map consists of concepts enclosed in circles or boxes called nodes, linked by lines or arrows that may be labeled and illustrate relationships between concepts. The information structured in a concept map is more easily accessible; it can be quickly understood and shared with others.
