LC-1310 - Academic Communication for MSc Students (o,w), Lecture H05, 12.9.2022-5.12.2022

 Now that you have an idea for your topic, it is time to develop the topic further. For that, you should search for a few more articles and skim read them through.

The next step is to develop your topic idea through developing a concept map (or a mind map). You can find some examples here: https://ctl.byu.edu/tip/concept-mapping

Mindmaps can be done with Mindjet Mindmanager software. It is available free for every Aalto University student (download.aalto.fi) and can be used in PC and Mac environments. Mobile app is also available.

Another suggestion:Lucidchart: https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/usecase/education

You may use any program  you are familiar with for this or even draft it by hand using pen and paper. You can always take a picture of it for the upload. Be ready to share your concept map next week in class. Please, submit it here in MyCourses as well in a readable format.

Attached you can find some examples from earlier students, who have kindly given permission to share their work as examples of concept map development.
