Abstract :
Visualization of the learning processes is a powerful way to help students to understand their curricula and the structure behind them. CME2 is a prototype software of this favourable concept, visualizing the learning process as a graph. With this tool students and teachers can easily handle and plan their personal curricula in larger scale and see the connections between different courses. The tool enables comparison between other students´ curricula with set operations and it can be used as a planning tool for future studies. Within the teacher-student interaction this tool can be used as an effective aid for counselling.
