1Cademy illustrates each prerequisite relation between a node pair using a green arrow.

Links in 1Cademy

To share knowledge on 1Cademy, users should follow a systematic procedure. First, apply progressive differentiation to divide the learned information into granular nodes. Next, for each node, perform integrative reconciliation to identify its direct prerequisite on the knowledge map. Finally, propose the new nodes to the map, along with any relevant idea, reference, or question nodes, and suggest improvements to existing content.

Procedure for Sharing Knowledge on 1Cademy

Concept mapping on 1Cademy is the process of expanding the knowledge graph by first identifying an essential prerequisite node that learners must study, and then proposing a new node as its direct child.

Similar in structure to causal diagrams (i.e. nodes with connections), except the connections are not causal. Nodes contain concepts are organized
in a hierarchy (such as in 1Cademy's knowledge graph).

Concept Mapping

A visualization of some nodes and prerequisite links between them, which is hierarchically organized and personalized for a specific 1Cademy user. The map supports four overarching learning activities: navigation, summarization, evaluation, and improvement.

1Cademy Personalized Knowledge Map View

- The concept map in itself uses decoding, interpretation, and categorizing, which are all characteristics of critical thinking (Facione, as cited in Rowles & Brigham, 2005).
- A concept map should have cross-links (lines) that depict a connection or relationship of knowledge (Novak, 1998).
- Concept maps should be presented in a hierarchal manner, with general concepts at the top and more specific concepts below (Novak, 1998).

This node categorizes academic literature, keynote presentations, and other main publications related to the theoretical foundations of concept mapping, its applications in education, and software environments like CmapTools.

1Cademy has a hierarchical structure from most general concepts to more detailed information. By Clicking on the "1$\leftrightarrow$1" icon on the right-buttom you can move forward. "1$\leftrightarrow$1" icon indicates that the current node has 1 parent node and 1 child node.
