Description

With funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Tufts University is creating the Visual Understanding Environment (VUE), a concept mapping tool that enables instructors and learners to visually structure digital information. VUE provides instructors a visual interface for organizing digital assets from the Tufts digital library in learning content maps, and provides learners the ability to rearrange content maps or add their own content and relationship nodes. In this way, VUE accommodates individual teaching and learning styles as well as provides a mechanism for learning and knowledge assessment.

The O.K.I. Role

O.K.I. Service Interface Definitions provide a way for researchers to develop technology and run experiments without having to simulate an entire learning and library environment themselves, or to run the risk of destabilizing a the educational infrastructure in use by thousands of students.
