Concept Map Examples
08/04/10 10:17 Filed in: CSC-581
I’ve created a new directory on my course Web page with the examples of concept maps.
This directory contains a collection of concept maps. Feel free to browse and use them. If you decide to incorporate parts into your own, please indicate the source.
The sub-directory FJK contains maps created by me (Franz J. Kurfess). All of my maps are in a draft stage, and many have been created by copying bits and pieces or whole maps, and replacing entries. As a consequence, you may find concepts and relations in a map that shouldn't be there, there might be mismatches between the concept and its description or resources, and the pathways may not make much sense for that map.
I’ve made the maps write-accessible, so you should be able to use the VUE Firefox plugin to edit them. Feel free to do so, but try not to mess them up too much. If anybody’s interested in augmenting or revising any of the maps so that they can be used for instructional purposes, let me know. I’d be especially interested in experimenting with creating such concept maps for broader topics in a collaborative manner.
Other maps are examples that I've downloaded from the Web.

Blackboard Access Set Up
08/04/10 10:07 Filed in: CSC-581
I had my quarterly wrestling match with Blackboard, and it should be available now. We'll use it for the submission of assignments (there's a menu entry "Assignment Submission"), and for the research paper and presentation (under "581 Wiki"). If you already have a topic, pick a date, and enter your name and topic in the table with the presentation schedule. You'll also add a Wiki page there with your topic proposal, and later the draft and final versions of your paper and presentation material. Both A1 and the topic proposal are due next week.
Please note that the Wiki and the Discussion Board are part of a different, permanent course ( CSC-0480 ALL RELATED COURSES (CSC-0480-FKURFESS)), and linked to the 581 menu entry. I’ve copied the enrollment to that course, so it will appear in your list of Blackboard courses as well. Depending on how you navigate, you may also see the menu for that course, which has a greenish background. This linking business should be mostly invisible to you, however.

Slides Week 2 Available

You can download the slides for Week 2 now, either through the schedule by clicking on the link for the topic, or by going to the directory http://users.csc.calpoly.edu/~fkurfess/Courses/581/S10/Slides/. The latter is preferable if you want the Keynote version instead of a .ppt file.

I’ve finished the first version of the project template. We’ll discuss it in class.
