When you use verbs as nodes, this immediacy is broken and the representational value of the logical or empirical world is less self-evident.

In this post I want to explore the instructor’s role in helping students get over barriers they have to meeting course objectives, and if this role is still critical to eLearning.

I would create maps that only show the hardest possible empirical or logical connections and then try to synthesize them into a new map.
