Abstract
This study was conducted during 2011 at an Australia university with a cohort of 93 undergraduate science communication students. Students worked in small groups of three or four to develop their knowledge in Biotechnology, Genetics,.Virology and Ecology by constructing digital knowledge maps, which are visual representations that show ‘at-ag-lance’ the key ideas and their connections of any given topic. Their construction necessitates subject matter knowledge and conceptual understanding, with students required to use analytical, provlem solving, negotiation, communication and team working skills. Findings indicate that the open-ended nature of the mapping activity gave students great control and ownership while cultivating life-long learning skills.
