Presentation:
Think about researching and organizing documents beyond genealogical software. This lecture will discuss the different ways that we process information. We will talk about visualizing research problems – such as brainstorming and bubble diagrams. We will discuss analyzing research and documenting positive and negative searches. The presentation will include charting your thoughts; composing hypotheses; mind mapping; creating timelines, spreadsheets and diagrams.
We will talk about documentation concepts as broad as freewriting to research as specialized as creating spreadsheets.
This lecture will show several examples where research problems are worked through using brainstorming and conceptualization.
