In previous research, researchers have identified a wide range of context factors that could affect student learning, either independently or in combination. However, it is not clear how the context factors interact with student learning or among themselves. Thus, we developed a context map that provides a graphical representation of the interactions among context factors and learning. We will show examples and discuss the possible implications of this method for research and instruction.
