Abstract

It is challenging to assess the effectiveness of learning and training. Most evaluators rely on multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and essay questions. These are time-consuming, provide little formative value, and provide no visualization of the knowledge domain. LinkIt uses constrained concept mapping to elicit, score, represent visually, and provide immediate feedback on student knowledge networks by comparing them to expert networks.
