Overview
Learning Synapps is an AI-supported learning system that enables learners to visualize relationships and build their own knowledge maps.
Recursive Expansion
Implemented context-aware explanations to support sensemaking beyond linear reading and surface-level definitions.
Visual Sensemaking
Moving beyond static text to dynamic, manipulatable knowledge structures that adapt to the learner's inquiry.
Context-Aware Interface
The interface adapts to show relevant nodes based on the user's current reading path, reducing visual clutter.
Knowledge Mapping
Users can pin (right click), bookmark (drag the node into the resource library in the bottom right corner), and connect nodes to form their own mental models, externalizing their understanding.
Applied Principles
Integrating learning sciences to enhance cognitive processing.
Scaffolding
Applied principles of scaffolding to gradually increase complexity as the learner demonstrates mastery.
Learner Control
Empowered users through filtering, pinning, and spatial reorganization features.
Cognitive Load
Managed cognitive load through bookmarking features and clean, focused visual hierarchy.
