Sample of Digital Tools in College Assignment: Mind Map Reflective Learning (DRAFT)

Mind Map – 5% of term
A mind map is a diagram used to visually outline information. A mind map is often created around a single word or text, placed in the centre, to which associated ideas, words and concepts are added. Major categories radiate from a central node, and lesser categories are sub-branches of larger branches.
The purpose of this activity is to determine what you currently know about the Canadian Criminal Justice System.  There are no right or wrong answers.  Googling the words in order to create the mind map is not the purpose of the activity.  At the conclusion of this course, you will create another mind map and the comparison between the two will indicate your learning throughout the course.
Mind Map Activity
You will create a mind map with the words “Criminal Justice System” placed in the centre.
1.   Download the cmap tool at http://cmap.ihmc.us/download/
2.   Create a new mind map with “Criminal Justice System” in the centre.
3.   Add at least 10 other words that represent what you currently know about the Criminal Justice System.  Be sure to create links between the words in the map.
4.   Once completed, save the map with your name in the document name.  Submit your completed map to the Mind Map Dropbox before Sunday at midnight.



Mind Map Conclusion – 5% of term
