Concept Mapping and Visual Notetaking

Another notetaking method often appeals to learners who prefer a visual representation; it is called
mapping or sometimes mind mapping, concept mapping, idea clustering, or knowledge graphing,
although each of these names can have slightly different uses. With this method, you make
connections between ideas through a graphic depiction. Some maps can get elaborate with colors
and shapes, but a simple version may be more useful. Main ideas can be circled or placed in a box
with supporting concepts radiating off these ideas shown with a connecting line and possibly details
of the support further radiating off the concepts. You can present your main ideas vertically or
horizontally, but turning your paper long-ways, or in landscape mode, may prove helpful as you add
more main ideas.
