Online concept-mapping as an innovative tool for assessment of deep learning

Concept mapping is a visual representation of ideas that facilitates thinking and is applicable to many areas of education with noticeable impacts on learning. Literatures show that there is difficulty in using concept maps among higher education students although empirical studies have shown that i...
