Designing the Innovative Knowledge Organization System (iKOS) for Science Learning

• In Event: D&D - Design and Development Showcase

Short Description

This poster describes the design principles and the functionality of iKOS (innovative Knowledge Organization System), a web-based knowledge management system developed to facilitate community-based inquiry science learning. The system incorporates three information representation modes including Event (picture tagging mode), Wiki (rich text editor), and ConceptMap (to draw concept maps) and supports peer collaboration and class management. We present an exemplar unit on food to illustrate the design.
