Abstract :
Concept mapping is a valuable technique for education evaluation. This paper describes a system which supports teachers in creating concept mapping tasks which are intended to capture the student´s understanding of the ontology of a small domain. A novel feature of our work is that the system verifies that the student intended the map elements that will be used to infer student understanding and misconceptions.
