Using Concept Maps as a Tool for Cross-Language Relevance Determination
Concept maps, introduced by Novak, aid learners' understanding. I hypothesize that concept maps also can function as a summary of large documents, e.g., electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs). I have built a system that automatically generates concept maps from English-language ETDs in the …

Effects of format and student completion of concept maps on college students' learning
"Concept mapping, one type of spatial learning strategy, is widely studied for its positive effects on learning. Although much research has been conducted to provide evidence of its effectiveness, very little work has been done on the impact of formats and learner completion of concept maps on …
