In principle, someone is working on it and there should be a better version in a not so distant future.
If you want to modify this page, please discuss it with the person working on it (see the "history")

I am trying to visualize the learning(/pedagogy/technology) taxonomies that Graíne Conole et al. came up with. The taxonomy is somewhat provisional. I did throw it together from various Concole and Fill publications, PPT slides, the DialogPlus website, and a little amount of salt and pepper. One of my main contributions was to add "Toilet-learning" - obviously - since I plan to print out an A1 or A0 poster once I am happy and decorate one of the toilet doors at TECFA with it - Daniel K. Schneider 18:26, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

See also DialogPlus Toolkit and Compendium LD

For visualization, I am using automatic layout mechanisms and various hierarchy schemes available through the GraphViz program.

Click on the various pictures to enlarge (the original is A0 size, i.e. a rather big poster.

In-wiki graphviz generation

I don't think that it is a good idea to use the wiki's graphviz interface to render larger stuff, since it can only show the raw image (no thumbnail) - Daniel K. Schneider 17:57, 25 May 2010 (UTC).
