This concept map tool was revised from a research outcome by Chang, Sung & Chen (2001) and was used for evaluating the empirical student-created concept maps by Chang and colleague in 2005. The tool assigned weights to the relationship links between the nodes and integrated weighted concept maps into the assessment criteria, so as to help provide a quantitative analysis to display the various learning states of students. The scholars proposed that the learning states contained: 1) a proposition was learned; 2) a proposition was partially learned; 3) a proposition was not learned; 4) a proposition was misunderstood (Chang et al., 2005). The shortcoming of the tool was that it did not provide a complete report function and the task format

The research results by using KMSS in real online learning environment indicated that the tool had a high practical value for educational assessment, and could help teacher with their assessment work efficiently. This tool contained six components: 1) preprocessing the learning sections; 2) extracting the concepts; 3) computing the relations between the concepts; 4) computing the weights; 5) retrieving the item process; 6) generating the knowledge map. This tool did not include the task authoring function and the automatic scoring function, but it had a concept weights computation module and adopted the weighted map for visualizing the importance of the different relationships among the …show more content…
Software architecture is the blueprint when developing a software system, and it can be regarded as a high-level design of a software system; it breaks the system into subsystems and components, and describes how these subsystems and components interact with each other (McGovern, 2004; Pressman, 2010).
There exist four views from different stakeholders when designing a software architecture; they are 1) a logical view, indicating the core perspectives of the system requirements; 2) a process view, showing the interaction processes of the system at run-time, which is useful for evaluating the system quality such as performance; 3) a development view, displaying how the system is modularized, which is valuable for the system manager and programmers; and 4) a physical view, presenting how to distribute the related hardware and components (Krutchen,
