Understanding the Structure of an Activity Concept Map
An activity concept map is a visual diagram that shows how a learning activity is organized. It places the central activity at the center and connects it to its goals, the steps learners follow, the materials needed, and the outcomes or assessment used to judge success. Each branch shows how one part supports the whole activity.
- Goals: the skills or knowledge the activity should build
- Steps: the ordered actions learners complete
- Materials: resources, tools and handouts required
- Roles: what the teacher and learners each do
- Outcomes: evidence of learning and how it is assessed
Use the map to plan a lesson, check that every step serves a goal, or revise before a class. Create your own personalized activity map with CogniGuide from your lesson notes.

Activity Concept Map Questions
Answers about what an activity map contains and how to make one.
What does an activity concept map show?
It shows a learning activity as a central idea with connected branches for its goals, ordered steps, materials, participant roles and expected outcomes. It makes the logic of the activity easy to see at a glance.
How is it different from a flowchart?
A flowchart focuses on a strict sequence of decisions. An activity concept map groups related ideas around a center, so you can see how goals, resources and assessment connect to the activity as a whole.
Which files can I use to create my map?
You can upload a PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown file, or an image of your plan. You can also type a topic instead of uploading.
Is it free to create an activity map?
Yes. The free plan allows 5 creations a week with no payment needed. Paid plans raise those limits.
