the goal to create a method or visually showing thedynamic relationships between chunks o knowledgesurrounding an event. With a visual map showing these interrelated connections, students would beable to recognize meaningul patterns, match thosepatterns to known memories, and build strongerconnections to the subject being taught.
For this preliminary stage o applying data visualization technologies to education, we choseone o the university’s core curriculum courses on Word Origins and Vocabulary Development.
For this project, we have mapped prexes,bases, suxes, and words together to show therelationships among all o the parts in words. Teend result is a dynamic map, which allows studentsto explore the relationships between words andbetween the parts o words–prexes, bases, andsuxes. Te inormation cards that appear containrules, meanings, and origins, which students may use as “fash cards” to review and study details abouteach specic word part throughout the duration o the course.

Tis movie demonstrates the map in action. Teinormation cards that appear contain the meaning o theprex, the rules associated with the prex and its origin. When the student selects a word, the map will show the word divided into its parts with the meaning or each part
displayed. Tis version o the project was built using theTinkmap SDK, Java, and fat les. Future versions willuse the Tinkmap SDK with HML 5 and CSS3.

Once the content was pulled rom the workbook, it was organizedinto ‘nodes’ with inormation attributes like meaning, origin, andorm. Identication numbers were then assigned to each piece orrow o inormation. Following the initial planning map, the ID
numbers were matched with other part numbers to create an ‘edge’le. Tis le is handled by a series o system mangers used to parseand visually display the inormation in a dynamic map.

“When graphic organizers help students cluster
information, the process enhances the brain’s natural
tendency to construct meaning by forming patterns.”
