Curt,

Since we're in the business of concept mapping for MOOCs, maybe you and I should talk off list.  You might have some valuable tricks, preferences, and experiences.

Mock-Socratic? Sort of like this discussion list where we are supposedly discussing however just responding based on the words.

While I can see the value of professional notes (at least then you will know what the prof thought important) it seems to me most lecture type learning happens when I transcribe the words into another format for myself.

To me, mind mapping a book or presenting the material to someone else is how I actually comprehend it.
