Use of concept maps to facilitate information discovery.

The study aimed to investigate the potential application of concept maps in information discovery. It proposed a framework which consisted of these parameters: ease, usefulness, goals, satisfaction, effect, learnability, learner, experiences and utility, to find out how concept maps can facilitate i...
