Advanced computer-based concept-mapping tools are suggested to have the potential to foster spatial learning strategies and processes of individual knowledge management like the acquisition, organization, representation, (self-) evaluation, communication, localization and utilization of knowledge. In addition, they have the potential to represent not only conceptual knowledge, but also content ...

In order to capture the concept of common knowledge, various extensions of multi-modal epistemic logics, such as xed-point type extensions and in nitary ones, have been proposed. Although we have now a good list of such proposed extensions, the relationships among these extensions are still unclear. The purpose of this paper is to draw a map showing the relationships among them. In the proposit...

Major industrial countries gradually developed from industrialised economies to informationand knowledge-based economies, where people became the most valuable asset to companies due to their abilities and valuable tacit knowledge. Unfortunately tacit knowledge is contained in people’s minds, is difficult to access and therefore needs to be captured so it can be shared amongst employees. Concep...

By using content analysis techniques to compare social construction of knowledge in online dialogues to concept maps generated to synthesize this knowledge construction, this study showed that concept maps are an effective tool to synthesize knowledge construction in online conferences. This finding was also supported by self-reported data in a moderator survey. Concept maps were also considere...

Knowledge Map is an external visual representation of an individual's ideational knowledge (also called cognitive structure, or propositional, declarative or conceptual), and we deal with two methodologies to produce such representations, Concept Mapping and Ideational Knowledge Mapping. This paper describes and shows samples of the maps the two methodologies produce, compares their graphic ele...
