Knowledge Tools
Knowledge Study is a method or approach rather than a technology. However, its application is greatly assisted through a purpose built Knowledge Study Tool (KST). This tool provides support for the construction and manipulation of Knowledge Structure Maps (KSM), the collection of data and the inspection of data. The tool also provides considerable analytical support to help an analyst to generate options for action that will be useful for those responsible for the knowledge resource. Corax is a KSM browser written in Macromedia Flash that displays a completed KSM that has been exported from the knowledge study tool.
Corax provides access to a few of the analytical features of KST. Corax also provides a useful learning support tool about the knowledge from the area that has been studied. This learning support tool can be accessed over the Internet and can support learners and developers of the knowledge resource.
