In full-sized form, the Syllabubbles would be a diagram occupying a piece of paper more than a two square metres in size; this is the version used for students to track their own progress. Blank bubbles are small topics that are not important enough to show up on a diagram of this scale. The rules for using the syllabubbles are simple:\r\n

Complete bubbles working \"outwards\" from the first bubble, which is surrounded by a dark ring\r\n
You cannot move onto a bubble unless you have completed all of the bubbles leading to it previously.\r\n

Syllabubbles are an obvious concept -- essentially, they are a mind-map of somebody who knows a reasonable amount about modern computers, namely me -- but in a teaching environment they are surprisingly useful. If you're clever, you can also take a look at the full version in its original MS Publisher 98 format, or as a really huge postscript file -- at least, publisher claims it's postscript. And of course, if you want a different format or a different version, just get in touch.\r\n","updated",["D",1053083944000],"created",["D",1053083944000],"codename","syllabubbles","legacy_id","2518","thumbnailUrl","published",["D",1053083944000],"draft",false,"actionData","errors"]
