Computer-based tools to support learning from hypertext: concept mapping tools and beyond

摘要: Abstract Although hypertext can be a useful way of delivering learning materials it is problematic in that there no requirement to actively manipulate knowledge as part the interaction. The mindtools, or concept mapping, approach requires learners construct graphical representations information they cover forcing them engage more consequence. Advocates mapping argue by encouraging represent their using node-link formalism, are forced into activities aid organization and integration knowledge, map itself serve communicate learner's effectively than text. This paper reports results study designed test effectiveness tool aiding student from system. It was found use enhanced scores on post-test when compared standard note taking. Qualitative analyses process network construction, maps produced may case for offering support networks construct, explicitly encourage structuring hoped integration, encouragement revise so enhance communication.
