Automatically-generated Concept Maps as a Learning Tool
نویسنده
چکیده
Concept maps can be generated manually or automatically. It is important to recognize differences of the two types of concept maps. The automatically generated concept maps are dynamic, interactive, and full of associations between the terms on the maps and the underlying documents. Through a specific concept mapping system, Visual Concept Explorer (VCE), this paper discusses how automatically generated concept maps are different from manually generated concept maps and how different applications and learning opportunities might be created with the automatically generated concept maps. The paper presents several examples of learning strategies that take advantages of the automatically generated concept maps for concept learning and exploration. Keywords—Concept maps, Dynamic concept representation, learning strategies, visual interface, Visual Concept Explorer.

متن کاملUsing Automatically Generated Concept Maps for Document Understanding: a Human Subjects Experiment
Concept maps present information in a concise and easily-understood form. Consequently, concept maps of documents are a useful vehicle for summarizing the documents’ contents. Concept-map based summaries can in turn be used as the basis for browsable indices to help guide navigation through documents to find material of interest. However, using concept maps in this role depends on the ability t...
