Abstract

Visualization of interrelated ideas and concepts, widely known as concept maps, is a ubiquitous technique for knowledge inquiry in many areas, such as learning, design, problem-solving, and creativity. While the effectiveness of concept maps is well documented in research and practice, comprehensive methods and tools for concept map assessments are scarce. Assessing concept maps is challenging, time-consuming, and prone to errors. DotWrangler builds upon previous research and proposes a method to assess concept maps qualitatively and quantitatively at scale. We present a visual assessment authoring tool demonstrating the DotWrangler approach and show its utility through a case study. The utility of DotWrangler is to enable the design of a reliable method of concept maps’ assessments, facilitate the execution of assessments at scale, and reduce the burden on instructors during the assessment process.
