At the same time, this tool supports students sketching concepts and relations based on concept map. Related ink structuring parsing algorithm also supports changing them to formal data.

Meanwhile, this tool supports student managing those concepts and related resources, and sharing them with other students. Based on pen-based interaction style and the advantage of tablet pc, students can do their learning work anytime, anywhere.
