TBers,

Reminder that the next (and last of this semester) TB will be Wednesday, May 1 at 8 am outside Starbucks.

I'll end the semester with a topic of personal interest. The term "mapping knowledge domains" was chosen back in 2003 to describe a newly evolving interdisciplinary area of science aimed at the process of charting, mining, analyzing, sorting, enabling navigation of, and displaying knowledge.  A few years later (2006) EDUCAUSE published on this topic here: http://www.educause.edu/ero/article/mapping-knowledge-nodes-networks-and-domains.

As we strive to teach students how to do research in this environment, I thought it would be worth a brief pause to consider what is happening.   As an example, attached please find a large'ish' PowerPoint with some of the best visualizations of knowledge as judged in 2003 by a group from the Beckman Center for the National Academy of Sciences in Irvine, CA.   Enjoy.
