Common wisdom has been that allowing a user to see the navigation steps of other users has an effect to the navigation of the user, although valid empirical

Map view presents documents currently available in the learning environment and provides a way to navigate to them directly. By double clicking a document a user can open it in the rightmost frame in the browser window. A user is represented as a coloured dot around the document he or she is currently viewing. Other users are visible to every user in real-time, so that their navigation is visible to everyone present. The documents change their brightness level and colour on the map depending on how much they have been viewed relative to the other documents.

Learning visually means learning quickly, so the reduction in learning cycle-time makes the RootMap™ methodology a very cost-effective way to engage stakeholders within your organization around business issues. http://www.rootlearning.com/whatwedo/visuals.html
