In addition to creating maps, each group must create additional explanatory materials for each of the concepts they add, combining useful resources found online to facilitate their study. Students also create materials such as videos, presentations, additional maps, or infographics linked to the concept map material.
A teacher, to explain the different methodological trends to her students, creates a conceptual material in which she links relevant information to each of the didactic concepts included in her creation.
