Appropriating Invention Through Concept Maps in Writing for Multimedia and the Web

Florence Elizabeth Bacabac

Abstract

As an alternative approach to web preproduction, I propose the use of concept maps for invention of website projects in business and professional writing courses. This mapping device approximates our students’ initial site plans since rough ideas are formed based on a substantial exploratory technique. Incorporated in various disciplines, the construction of concept maps leads to better flowcharts and more structured wireframes for web development.
