Concept Map Clustering
Anna and I were quite busy with clustering the maps in order to achieve a good balance of diversity and concordance...
.. finally we managed to combine the groups, we hope that everything will work well!
Next working steps
- Information on the group formation and wiki editing will be distributed on Monday
- Please think about assignment 3 - you should get started by documenting a planting design case from your personal context. This can be at any scale, very local, such as a small spot in your neighbourhood or a feature in the landscape of your region (this depends solely on your interest and background).
- Please think about this during the next days
- Instructions for the working groups
