Supplemental Materials

Workshop Powerpoint [pptx]
Session Method 1 (Powerpoint slides 25-29): “Modeling” – Teach students how to build concept maps using a simple example, then encourage students to build their own for course content/studying purposes.
- Method1_Activity_Demo.cmap – cmap software file (in format for software that can be downloaded from https://cmap.ihmc.us/) that has concepts but no links for stated activity; participants used this file to build a concept map during workshop
- Method 1 Key.jpg – Answer key to workshop activity
Session Method 2 (Powerpoint slides 30-32): Provide students pre-made concept maps
- Folder “A&P I”: Examples of completed concept maps, created by Park, used in Anatomy and Physiology I
- Folder “Ecology”: Examples of completed concept maps, created by Park, used in Ecology
- Folder “Genetics”: Examples of completed concept maps, created by Park, used in Genetics
- Folder “Intro Bio”: Examples of completed concept maps, created by Park, used in Introductory Biology
Session Method 3 (Powerpoint slides 33-36): Provide students incomplete concept maps that have be completed by students
- Nervous System_Fill-in_Activity.jpg – Fill-in-the-blank activity for workshop participants
- Nervous System_Fill-in_Activity – Key.jpg – Answer key to workshop activity
Session Method 4 (Powerpoint slides 37-39): Showcase building a concept map during lecture (all while encouraging real-time feedback!) and then as a “gift,” provide the map to the class!
- IntroBio2_Lab_cmap.jpg – Example of concept map co-built by Park and his students during an Introductory Biology II course
- Photosynthesis_cmap.jpg – Example of concept map co-built by Park and his students during an Ecology course
Session Method 5 (Powerpoint slides 40-45): Concept maps can be used for formative assessment (graded or ungraded) and summative assessment.
