Concept mapping has a history of use in many disciplines as a formal or semi-formal diagramming technique. Concept maps have an abstract structure as typed hypergraphs, and computer support for concept mapping can associate visual attributes with node types to provide an attractive and consistent appearance. Computer support can also provide interactive interfaces allowing arbitrary actions to ...

In this paper we present a question generation approach suitable for tutorial dialogues. The approach is based on previous psychological theories that hypothesize questions are generated from a knowledge representation modeled as a concept map. Our model semi-automatically extracts concept maps from a textbook and uses them to generate questions. The purpose of the study is to generate and eval...

Abstract Giving feedback to peers can be a powerful learning tool because of the provider’s active cognitive involvement with products reviewed. The quality peers’ is naturally an important factor that might influence not only given, but also arising from this process. This experimental study investigated effect level reviewed product on knowledge acquisition providers, as well role prior in th...

Concepts maps are used to represent domain knowledge, mostly by attaching word labels to a static graph. For concepts and relations which unfold in time, this representation is not well suited because temporal relations have to be mapped to static ones. This can be useful to understand and memorize structures, but it detaches the representation in the map from its temporal nature. One approach ...

The Dynamic and Interactive Mathematical Expressions (DIME) Map system automatically generates DIME maps, which are personalizable manipulable concept maps that allow students to interact with the mathematical concepts contained in any portable document format (PDF) textbook or document. A teacher can upload a PDF chapter retrieve map of mathematically based concepts. is interactive be used int...

this paper compared the efficacy of these two methods on retention, understanding and problem solving in the biology keeping in the mind the fact that student's learning style has a role as a moderator variable. the intervening effects on retention, understanding and problem solving were measured by two academic achievement tests that those have the confirmable validity and reliability indexes....

Concept maps have long provided visual languages widely used in many different disciplines and application domains. This article reports experience in taking an existing open architecture concept mapping tool and making it available on the web in a number of ways: as a client helper downloading and uploading concept maps; as an active controller of the browser, indexing multimedia material thro...
