Abstract

Nowadays concept maps (CMs) are widely used in many fields and there are many tools assisting users in constructing a CM. Nevertheless, some users may also have difficulties in extracting a CM from a text. To cope with this problem, an intelligent interactive tool for scaffolding concept map construction is proposed to assist users in CM construction. A preliminary experiment has been conducted to evaluate the efficiency of this tool. The experimental results show that the proposed tool has some beneficial effects on helping users construct a CM.

This research work is supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC: 61075048).
