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…

Apex Sketch takes a sketch export out of your assessing.net database and creates a GIS building shapefile map layer. From this sketch file you overlay a aerial photo and the sketch variances from the actual aerial photo stand out like a sore thumb when they are set at the same scale.

However, due to ‘the proliferation of concepts and measurements proposed for characterising emotional bonds between humans and places’ (Manzo and Devine-Wright, 2014, p. 125), place attachment has a diversity of definitions. These definitions, however, remain scattered in the…

The planets in the solar system are divided into terrestrial and jovian planets. They are different in their position, composition and other features. First of all, let us see what are the jovian and the terrestrial planets. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are the jovian planets. Mercury, Venus and Earth are the terrestrial planets. One of the main differences that can be seen between terrestrial and jovian planets, is their surfaces. While the terrestrial planets are made of solid surfaces,…

Question 2: Map scale is the ratio of the straight line distance between any two points on a map to the straight line distance between the same two points on the earth’s surface. Now when looking at map scale there a few concepts for instance, ratio (representational fraction) scale is a concept of map scale. Ratio scale is always neutral in the scale measurement used on the map. So when looking at a map scale of 1:50 000 it means that 1 unit of measurement on the map is equal to 50 000 of the…
