Title: Knowledge Management and
Problem-Based Learning: Use of Cmap Tools In Educational Environments
Abstract: This article presents
a proposal to use Cmap Tools from the Institute for Human and Machine
Cognition of the University of West Florida in the development of
Knowledgement Management in Problem-Based Learning. The use of
Problem-Based Learning implies severe curriculum changes, and teachers
and students adopt new roles as tutors and responsible of their
learning, respectively. Cmap Tools empowers users to construct,
navigate, share, and criticize knowledge models represented as Concept
Maps. The toolkit is platform independent and network enabled, allowing
the users to build, and collaborate during the construction of concept
maps with colleagues anywhere on the network, as well as, share and
navigate through others' models distributed on servers throughout
Internet
