Introduction to C-TOOLS: concept mapping tools for online learning

The C-TOOLS project is developing and validating a new assessment tool, the Concept Connector, consisting of a web-based, concept mapping Java applet with automatic scoring. The Concept Connector tool is being designed to enable students in large introductory science classes at the university level to visualize their thinking online and receive immediate formative feedback. The Concept Connector’s flexible scoring system, based on tested scoring schemes as well as instructor input, has enabled automatic and immediate online scoring of concept map homework.
