Knowledge Maps and Their Use in Computer-Based Collaborative Learning Environments.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kealy, William A. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2001
Conceptual learning of 13 graduate students was studied during a six-week course using the Internet for collaborative learning of online articles. Five groups were formed with each creating a knowledge map during the first and fifth week of the course. Multidimensional scaling analysis was used to study change in each group's mapping over time to…
