Artificial Intelligence Lab, Department of MIS, University of Arizona / The National Science Digital Library (NSDL),
launched in December 2002, is emerging as a center of
innovation in digital libraries as applied to education.
As a part of this extensive project, the GetSmart system
was created to apply knowledge management techniques
in a learning environment. The design of the system is
based on an analysis of learning theory and the
information search process. Its key notion is the
integration of search tools and curriculum support with
concept mapping. More than 100 students at the
University of Arizona and Virginia Tech used the system
in the fall of 2002. A database of more than one
thousand student-prepared concept maps has been
collected with more than forty thousand relationships
expressed in semantic, graphical, node-link
representations. Preliminary analysis of the collected
data is revealing interesting knowledge representation
patterns.
