Concept Mapping in Interaction Design
IFI7156 Interaction Design Methods
(Vicwood40, 2005)
Elements of a concept map
• Focus question
• Concept terms
• Linking lines
• Labels
Role in interaction design
• Summarizing design sessions
• Establishing user interface vocabulary
• Building a common understanding in a project team
• Providing input for information architecture
Process
1. Identify a focus question
2. Write down main concepts
3. Choose the most general concept and categorize other concepts under that
4. Connect concepts with linking lines and choose appropriate labels
5. Introduce intermediate concepts when you have more than 4 concepts under any concept
Types of links
• causal (leads to, produces)
• explanation (is a reason for)
• nominal (known as)
• property (consists of, has)
• procedure (results in, done by, way to do)
• probable (likely, always)
• event (comes before)
(Loganathan, 2010)
Concept mapping software
• CmapTools: http://cmap.ihmc.us
• Visual Understanding Environment: http://vue.tufts.edu
Why not mind maps?
• Only one central concept
• No linking labels
• Typically only linear structure
(Nicoguaro, 2011)
