Some times ago, I refered to an analysis of the content of the Alpine Rendez-vous 2011 white papers. As one may have noticed, some of the terms we kept after a careful selection, actually lacked specificity (like "learning" or "technology" which come whatever you have to say...) Hence, we decided to suppress these terms (e.g. innovation, education, funding, providers, software, success, scientists, experts, results, outcomes, psychology), and then got a new map which you can see there: http://maps.telearn.org/contexteARV2011_2/

The good news is that there is nothing new! What emerges are the clusters of words which characterize the different workshops organised that year. Actually, I am too severe... we learn something about the words they share, one may even consider these words as boundary objects. We see "tools" shared by "data" and "learners", or "needs" by "data" and "teachers", "skills" as quite a central position, while "knowledge" strongly links "learner" and "representation". But what intrigues me is the provincial position of "model", more surprising than the light link of "neuroscience" with the other workshops topics.
