An XML-Based Tool for Building and Using Conceptual Maps in Education and Training Environments

چکیده
Conceptual maps have been used in many areas as a means of capturing and representing knowledge. Several authors have explored the use of visual tools to enhance the learning process. Thinking maps as well as frame games use visual patterns of relationships (learners thinking processes) to structure knowledge. Based on their graphical structure it is possible to recognize the thinking process(es) employed in the map. Several software applications have been created to support different kinds of maps, but they use proprietary files to represent their maps. It makes sharing of knowledge difficult and jeopardizes the widespread use of maps. This paper proposes XML (Extensible Markup Language) as the language to describe maps. A knowledge construction and navigation tool (KVTKnowledge Visualization Tool) has been implemented using XML to represent the kinds of maps supported by thinking maps and/or frame games. This paper describes the uses of KVT in education and training environments.

Effective Environmental Factors on Designing Productive Learning Environments
Educational spaces play an important role in enhancing learning productivity levels of society people as the most important places to human train. Considering the cost, time and energy spending on these spaces, trying to design efficient and optimized environment is a necessity. Achieving efficient environments requires changing environmental criteria so that they can have a positive impact on ...
متن کاملConceptual Design of n-Butyl Acetate Synthesis Process by Reactive Distillation Using Residue Curve Maps
Residue curve maps are a powerful tool for the preliminary design of Reactive Distillation (RD). In this study, residue curve maps of the n-butyl acetate synthesis reaction were calculated based on the Langmuir–Hinshelwood–Hougen–Watson kinetic and UNIQUAC models to calculate the physical properties of the system. The results showed that the unstable node branch emerged from the n-butyl ace...
متن کاملApply Uncertainty in Document-Oriented Database (MongoDB) Using F-XML
As moving to big data world where data is increasing in unstructured way with high velocity, there is a need of data-store to store this bundle amount of data. Traditionally, relational databases are used which are now not compatible to handle this large amount of data, so it is needed to move on to non-relational data-stores. In the current study, we have proposed an extension of the Mongo...

متن کاملAN Improved UTD Based Model For The Multiple Building Diffraction Of Plane Waves In Urban Environments By Using Higher Order Diffraction Coeficients
This paper describes an improved model for multiple building diffraction modeling based on the uniform theory of diffraction (UTD). A well-known problem in conventional uniform theory of diffraction (CUTD) is multiple-edge transition zone diffraction. Here, higher order diffracted fields are used in order to improve the result; hence, we use higher order diffraction coefficients to improve a hy...
