UNSW Review
Professor Gary Velan
Gary Velan and colleagues trialed Knowledge Maps for novice medical students enrolled in their first course of a six-year undergraduate medicine program, in the second formative assessment for the 2017 course. Students perceived that the mapping tool improved and motivated learning, helped them identify important concepts, was simple to use, and they would recommend to others. The students also commented that the maps were easy to use, and that they helped link everything together.
