Facilitating Collaborative Learning and Problem-Solving with Computer-Supported Causal Mapping

Thu, Nov 9, 2:15 to 3:15pm, 3rd Level, Conf Center A

Short Description

Achieving group consensus in developing solutions to complex problems requires team members to identify and resolve differences in individual conceptions/misconceptions of a given problem. This showcase introduces the jMAP application that enable users to construct causal maps; graphically juxtaposes one map over another to identify commonalities in causal links, root causes, and causal chains linking causes to outcomes; quantitatively scores the level of similarity between two maps; and produces an aggregated map with links varying in density to graphically convey the level of group consensus on each causal link.
