Knowledge Maps and Their Use in Computer-Based Collaborative Learning Environments.
Kealy, William A.
Journal of Educational Computing Research, v25 n4 p325-49 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 determine influence of the computer-based collaboration on conceptual understanding. (AEF)
