Application of Tools for Creating Maps of Knowledge in Teaching Materials Science to Students of University of Life Sciences

Abstract

Modern distance education systems allow for teaching any subject. However, conducting classes strictly defined by a system of educational cycle, does not always allow for selecting individual learning paths based on knowledge already possessed by the student. Knowledge maps can navigate the content of subject taught by well-defined paths of learning, the course of which may be determined by the student. The article presents an example of using knowledge maps created in the InfoRapid KnowledgeMap system and the results of preliminary studies on the use of training software in English based on maps of knowledge for teaching students of Materials Engineering.
