This paper introduces a new learning resource for traditional and distance education. Explanograms are explanatory text and diagrams captured and stored as they are developed over time. Explanograms offer a new twist on an ancient means of communication by preserving the chronology of their creation. Teachers can develop explanograms as easily as capturing an explanation offered during lecture or office hours. We invented the explanogram as a learning aid for students, and as a means for improving our productivity as teachers. In this paper we describe the technology behind explanograms, how we plan to use them, and our approach to evaluating their effectiveness. A demonstration of the technology will be presented at the conference, where we hope to engage a broad spectrum of experts for suggestions and perspectives on the use of explanograms.
