Atlas of Nanotechnology
[attachment=25912]
An Atlas of Nanoscience and Nanoskills
Six separate maps
Topic map of the domain (terms)
Knowledge map (what people know) = K
Skill map (what people do) = S
Industry map (companies and IP)
Course map of nanoscience (who teaches what)
Learning object map (SCORM and LOM)
All six maps interlinked through K&S attributes
Nanoscience Topic Maps
Topic maps are a ‘network of topics’ that are interconnected in an ontology
Nanoscience topic maps includes the top level subjects (physics chemistry, biology, materials science, electronics)
And also include the ‘nano specific’ terminology – self assembly, carbon nanotubes, molecular manufacturing
Connecting Topic Maps
Nano terminology
Nano ontology (categories)
Nano taxonomy (terminology)
Nano ‘work’ (skills)
Nano courses (knowledge)
Nano curriculum (course objects)
Courses contain K&S learning outcomes
What Problems Are We Solving?
Pathways for intelligent workforce development
Pathways for formal nanotech education
Are two courses similar?
Recognizing ‘aggregated learning outcomes’ from disparate institutions
Knowledge Map
What are the key concepts that students and working professionals need to know?
These are both prerequisites to learning new concepts in nanoscience, as well as key learning outcomes from coursework
Knowledge map is connected to ‘courses’ through the knowledge attribute in KSA
