Concept Maps and Knowledge Building Discourse: a User Interface Prototypes for the next Generation Learning Tools

This paper presents an idea of a poster with an interactive installation. The aim of the poster is to open discussion about the possibilities to combine the principles of concept map and knowledge building discourse techniques in a way that will benefit meaningful learning. The poster will include four design proposals and prototypes with the possibility to try out how a combination of concept map tool and knowledge building tool could work. The proposed prototypes are studies of the possible interaction among the participants aiming to achieve meaning on complex topics and gain higher cognitive and intelligence skills needed in a knowledge society.
