In the fall of 2002 more than 100 students created 1400 concept maps as part of selected computing classes offered at the University of Arizona and Virginia Tech. Those students conducted searches, obtained course information, created concept maps, collaborated in acquiring knowledge, and presented their knowledge representations. This article connects the design elements of the GetSmart system to targeted concept-map-based learning processes, describes our system and research testbed, and analyzes our system usage logs. Results suggest that students did in fact use the tools in an integrated fashion, combining knowledge representation and search activities. After concept mapping was included in the curriculum, we observed improvement in students' online quiz scores. Further, we observed that students in groups collaboratively constructed concept maps with multiple group members viewing and updating map details.10aAccounting10aBIS1 aMarshall, Byron1 aChen, Hsinchun1 aShen, Rao1 aFox, Edward, A.  uhttp://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=1217862.121786401516nas a2200205   4500008004100000245006500041210006300106260000900169520090600178653001501084653000801099100002001107700001701127700001901144700001501163700001401178700001601192700002001208856008201228       2003                        eng d00aKnowledge Management and E-Learning: the GetSmart Experience0 aKnowledge Management and ELearning the GetSmart Experience  c20033 aThe 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 theinformation 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.
