Concept mapping for eliciting verified personal ontologies

Concept mapping is a valuable technique for education evaluation. This paper describes VCM, a system based on this approach: it supports teachers in creating concept-mapping tasks intended to capture the student's understanding or personal ontology of a small domain. A novel feature of our work is that the system verifies whether the student intended the map elements that will be used to infer their understanding and misconceptions. We provide a detailed description of VCM, linking it to related work and describe its qualitative evaluation.
