Abstract

Concept mapping, a graphical demonstration of a group of concepts embedded in a network of propositions, is a useful tool for promoting both the quantity and the quality of learning. To help students develop an integrated understanding of the structure and content of Taiwanýs history, this project develops interactive concept maps which bridge high school history instruction and the digitized historical materials of Yeh Jung-Chung, who was one of the most important writers and preservers of Taiwanýs early history. The system was designed to create an interactive learning environment, which allows users to customize both the degree of complexity and the selection of needed concepts to best fit their individual teaching and learning needs.
