Abstract

Evidence indicates that concept mapping can reduce students' cognitive load and facilitate meaningful learning. Using a concept map description approach, the ontology defines the relationship between concepts that is feasible for resource sharing and reusing. In this study, we implement a concept map learning system with ontology technology to help users search the concept map, determine relationships between nodes or predicates, and find the common concept or predicate among the concepts to help reduce the user's cognitive load.
