Seeing how learners connect ideas
In research
The problem
Concept maps show how learners connect ideas and reason about cause and effect, but comparing many maps by hand is slow, and closed-ended maps limit what learners can express.
Our response
A web-based causal concept-mapping tool for building, comparing and giving feedback on maps. It has been extended from closed-ended to open-ended maps with AI-supported feedback. Developed with Dr. Allan Jeong.
Intended change
- Faster, richer analysis of learner thinking
- Feedback on reasoning, not just answers
