Concept maps are an effective way of creating a textual resource that can be organized graphically, in the form of a map or tree of ideas; it provides a pictorial overview of the concepts, related concepts / sub-concepts for a topic. A concept map helps you to create a textual OER with possibilities for linking to additional resources, adding annotations as well as graphically organizing ideas through links. A concept map can also be used to plan and design the OER by identifying areas of resource requirements as well as linking to additional resources, serving as a blue print for OER development.

A concept map is a visual representation of different concepts and their inter-connections. Concepts acquire power and meaning when they are connected to other concepts. Hence, organizing the concepts relevant to your topic is an important first step of OER creation.
A concept map provides a pictorial overview of the concepts, related concepts / sub-concepts for a topic. Your concept map OER for your topic will help you coherently and comprehensively organize your thinking about the concepts and sub-concepts that comprise your topic. This concept map can provide a useful ‘blue-print’ for creating your OER. In fact before you do any writing (or teaching) you should prepare a concept map on the topic, to better organize your thoughts, the connection between your ideas, their flow and sequence etc. Making this a habit will be very helpful in your work, including in OER creation.
