One of the very first postings on this blog included information on Michael A. Britt's www.thepsychfiles.com where, if you dig down deep enough, you will find what might possibly be a look at the next generation of concept maps.While in the very early stages of development, the technique called "Make a Personal Psychology Review" (MAPPR), looks extremely promising. The method starts with a standard concept map of a typical unit in an introductory psychology course. Students can then click on any concept or number of concepts on the map and hear a definition and in some cases, an example for each of the terms.
To date, only the Research Methods unit and Learning unit have been mapped out. I am hoping in time, the other units will be added. For more information go to http://www.thepsychfiles.com/mappr/

Thanks for mentioning the MAPPR program! I've been doing a lot of work on it recently and it now contains concept maps and audio definitions for a total of 5 chapters (Research, Learning, Bio, Psychhotherapy and Disorders). I expect to put up a map and audio for Personality next week, with Developmental and Social to come soon after.
I hope students discover the MAPPR - I think it can be a helpful study tool
Thanks again for the mention and the link!
Michael
