The C-TOOLS project presents a web-based, concept mapping Java applet with automatic scoring. The Concept Connector tool is being designed to enable students in large introductory science classes at the university level to visualize their thinking online and receive immediate formative feedback. The Concept Connector's flexible scoring system, being based on tested scoring schemes as well as instructor input, has enabled automatic and immediate online scoring of concept map homework. C-TOOLS also contains a courseware management system streamlined for the creation, editing and management of concept map assignments in a classroom setting.
The C-TOOLS project summary is available as a 2 page PDF document from Doug Luckie's web site.
