Abstract

The intention of this paper is to show relevant issues (resulting from theoretical and empiric research) about how virtual maps can be used to elicit the building of knowledge and to encourage collaborative learning. For that purpose, we have been investigating how to manage information overflow and develop incentives to collaborative learning through projects using virtual maps built in the Nestor Web Cartographer: a graphical web browser. The virtual maps study is supported by rhizome principles whose characteristics allow us to understand the process of selecting and connecting what is meaningful for the multilinear building of knowledge. In this paper, a brief conceptual approach is discussed, major contributions and difficulties are presented and future trends about web maps are mentioned.
