摘要

Researchers at the University of Colorado Denver (UCD) are focusing on computer design, constructive learning theory and cognitive linguistics to develop and test a cloud computing learning system to increase achievement among students in the STEM disciplines. This paper describes Efficient Learning Maps (eLms), an education technology designed to enhance logical thinking through the construction of concept maps using seven basic graphic symbols that represent logical operations. After and presenting evidence that the technology may prove effective and a strong need exists for effective education technologies the paper asks the question as to why the Visual Logic Maps technology appears work as intended when recent reports indicate that the efficacy of education technologies have resulted in negative or negligible results. The researchers of this paper suggest that the reason for the effectiveness of one technology versus others can be explained by 1) the design of the software which uses enhancement of mapping skills to enhance reading comprehension and vice versa; and 2) the findings of social scientists and media studies experts associated with Marshall McLuhan and the hypothesis of left and right brain differences. The paper concludes with the observation that before educators and software engineers can develop computer applications to advance knowledge and improve learning, they must first ask the basic question as to what constitutes knowledge in the twenty-first century when new technologies may be changing our very understanding of knowledge itself.
