The resulting road map can be used as a scaffolding to describe each node network by linking the node to other nodes in terms of relations and attributes. - <br/> - </li> - <li>Look at <a href="http://atlas.gnowledge.org/Data/display/12675_depmap.svg" class="external-link">this map to get an idea of a dependency map based on prerequisites.</a></li> - <li>Look at this one to get an idea of how a node can be described as a map (Link required??). <br></li> - <li>You will agree that such maps will be very useful to teachers and - students.

Or view the existing prerequisites that are already - defined by the community. <br> - </li> - <li>We simply add a concept as a - node (if it does not exist already) and specify a semantic dependency - (meaning dependency) relation between one node and another.</li> - <li>Ask yourself the following set of questions:</li> - <ul><li>To understand a concept what do you expect the learner must already know?</li> - <li>To understand a concept what do you expect the learner must do?</li> - <li>To impart a skill what what other activities the learner must do?</li><li>To impart a skill what other concepts the learner must already know?</li></ul> - </ul> - <p>Answers to these questions can be specified in this community portal by establishing links between concepts and activities.</p> - <br/><br/><br/> - <h2><font size="6px">What we will get out of this?</font></h2><br/> - <ul><li>a globally useful resource for teachers and students to know the learning track (learning path) for any concept or skill. <br></li> - <li>teachers and authors of textbooks can use these maps to prepare course materials or sequence their curriculum.</li> - <li>students get to know what they need to know in order to learn something.</li><li>researchers can use the data for analyzing the properties of knowledge structures.<br></li> - <li>a network of concepts and activities that can be used, modified, published and shared by the entire community.</li><li>a visual map of knowledge and a road map for learning and teaching.</li> - <li>a knowledge base that can be used to profile different domains of knowledge.</li><li>the - resulting map will show us, as it were, the 'cities' (on which we - depend on most), 'towns' (on which we depend but not as much as the - cities), 'villages' (on which we depend least), continents (domains that - contain inter-related cities, towns and villages), etc. <br></li><li>a sequence to automatically guide learners in a machine guided online tutoring system, for example.</li> - <li>a - network analysis linking the number of nodes and links, plots, - analyses, statistics, distribution properties etc. (very soon as the - data set increases, we will publish the results on this site. You can access the data dumps (sans privacy information) very soon, so that you can analyze the data yourself.)<br></li> - <li>and we are sure it will have many other uses as well. If you foresee some please discuss with us in the list community@gnowledge.org.

You do not have to write essays here.</font></h2><br/> - <ul><li>We can get all the above mentioned goodies without writing any - essays or do so much of research. We do not define concepts either! Just - ask yourself the questions mentioned above and provide the answer if - you have them. We simply make the dependency relations explicit for all - concepts that all of us know. Soon we will be able to do this in all - languages of the world (Our software developers are working on this.).</li></ul> - <br/><br/><br/> - <h2><font size="6px">So, how to get it going? </font></h2><br/> - <ol><li>Join as a member. Use the join link on the right corner of the site.<br></li> - <li>Use the 'Login' link if you are already a member.<br></li> - <li>Search for a concept or activity using the search form present on the right side of the header or the "<a href="http://localhost:8081/depmap/viewall?val=1">view or edit</a>" - link. (We started this site recently and data set is very small, so - don't be surprised if your favorite concepts and activities are not - found here.)<br></li> - <li>Add a non-existing node. By default it will be - taken as a concept, but if you want it to be an activity, use the check - box. If a node already exists, you will see a message: "Object already - exists". Then you can visit that node and then decide what more you can - do. <br></li> - <li>Then add appropriate dependency links. For adding - dependency link, click on the "Add" button below the relation names - "Depends on" or its inverse name "Required for".</li> - <li>If you think - that the existing relation is not accurate, you can remove the link - using the "Delete" tab. Or discuss in the mailing list on the issue and - resolve the conflict.<br></li> - <li>Remember! You cannot add a relation - unless a concept node already exists. So, if you don't find the node - you are looking for, add one and link it.<br></li> - <li>Remember, all of - us are making only one single map collaboratively. All contributions - are recorded against your login name with date and time of contribution. - <br></li> - <li>Please see below the ownership and license information to know who owns the data made by you.</li></ol> - - <br/><br/><br/> - <h2><font size="6px">Spread the word around the world! </font></h2><br/> - <ul><li>Well! The site is meant for you. We made this simplest web - application so that the whole world gets the benefit. The outcome of - this simplest exercise will be a very useful semantic dependency map for - learning and teaching any topic. The knowledge base built on this site - is available for every one. For making the maps in other languages we - have to only add translations to each node. We will soon add this - function to have the map in all languages. However, if you want to add - concepts in your own language, you can build them right away, and may - add the translation links latter when the feature is made available.<br></li></ul> - <br/><br/><br/> - <h2><font size="6px">License</font></h2><br/> - The network and the content produced is published under <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License" class="external-link">Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0</a> - <p> </p> - <ul><li> What does this license imply?</li> - <ul><li>you have the freedom to use the maps for any purpose.</li> - <li>you can make modifications to them.<br></li><li>you - can distribute or publish or sell them provided you grant the same - freedoms to others as well, i.e., release them again under the terms of - the same license.
