I came across this phrase can recently:
'Use a process such as Learning Mapping to make explicit the theories and assumptions that underpin the design of an intervention and help to establish a logical thread with clear objectives.'
Does anyone have a link or a source I can go to in order to learn what they mean by 'Learning Mapping' and how it works?

PhD
Considering the language used to describe "Learning Mapping" and the 0 results on Google I am guessing it comes from a PhD thesis.
Probably TEFL as they seem to be barking a the moon more than another form of research.

Answer
Some one has just messaged me with a possible answer and it fits in with the context so I'm guessing that this is what they meant.

Figure 1 in the article captures the gist.

Logic Maps
Hi Gary,
My guess is there is some confusion here between Mind Maps, championed by Buzan, and Logic Maps. Since the quote is about making " explicit the theories and assumptions that underpin the design of an intervention" I suspect that what you are referring to is the process of Logic Mapping which can be very helpful in making explicit the "Theory of Change" (why you think this intervention will lead to that result) and what needs to be evaluated. There is a short description of logic mapping by Peggy Parskey in the Field Guide to the 6Ds. Frechtling's book – Logic Modeling Methods in Program Evaluation – is a very good introduction, and there is a fair bit on the web.
Hope that helps,
Roy
