Abstract

Students studying self-regulated have to cope with an increasing and ill-structured amount of knowledge and information. This is particularly true for students in resource-based scenarios. Knowledge and related information has to be structured in a way that it can be accessed easily. Visualization tools may assist students in visualizing their knowledge, as well as providing access to knowledge elements and task-relevant knowledge resources. Most existing tools focus on the visualization of knowledge or information only. It is claimed that concept mapping may function as a bridging technology. The contribution draws attention to digital concept maps as cognitive tools which may provide a basis for the development of synergistic approaches that may help visualizing, accessing, and managing both subject-matter domain knowledge and information and foster resource-based learning. The rationale of a research approach on testing the efficiency of digital concept maps as a bridging technology for the personal management of knowledge and information resources is outlined.
