Assessing learner’s understanding via node-link analysis: an information theory approach

Cognition or thinking involves mental activities or thought process. The complexness of thought process is represented by the complexness of textual information that consists of more distinct pieces of information. Textual information which is in the form of language and symbol are means in represen...
