Teachers have successfully applied concept maps in educational settings. In particular, concept maps have been recognized as an effective tool for diagnosing students' misunderstandings. Frequently, students create concept maps from reading materials that teachers provide to develop the necessary background to draw the map. However, when it comes t...

... mindset is made explicit through concept mapping. Thus, tightly integrating the activities of annotation and concept mapping would account for a seamless transition from the construction of concept maps out of annotations, and the other way around, i.e., the de-construction of concept maps into the readings that underpin the mind map (see Fig.1). But, what is meant by 'tightly integrating'? ...

... is a web annotation tool aimed at concept mapping. When the reading material (PDF or Web content) is opened in a browser tab, Concept&Go can be activated with a single click. This causes a sidebar to show up on the left part of the document. This sidebar contains the concepts collected so far (see Fig. ...

... Coding as introduced by the Grounded-Theory method (Walker et al., 2006). Through color-coding, Concept&Go allows for concepts to be created on the fly: highlight the text paragraph expressing the concept (e.g., "plants"), and click 'New concept'. This turns the quote into a concept, and, as such, supports it as a button in the side panel (see Fig. 2.1). From then on, the occurrence of this concept in the current text can be highlighted by clicking this dedicated button. The codes can be linked to a line, a sentence, a paragraph, or wholesome text. This results in a (concept, occurrence, document) annotation triplet to be stored in Hypothes.is. Certainly, occurrences might take ...

... Hypothes.is. Certainly, occurrences might take different ways to express the concept and can be captured from different reading materials. Annotation involves abstraction from the written realization to the abstract notion embedded by the concept. Concept names can be changed at any time as students come up with the most accurate terminology. In Fig. 2.1, "photosynthesis" and "plants" are captured while reading a Wikipedia ...

... in the text, the student has to annotate the text fragment by clicking the 'New relation' button. Then, Concept&Go opens a panel where the students can select the concepts that are involved in the relationship by selecting two concepts from the list of the current concepts. Concept&Go allows visualizing, editing, and deleting the relationships. Fig. 2.1 illustrates how the linking word "used by" is captured while reading in Wikipedia. Fig. 2.3 shows the visualization once exported to ...
