In cooperative settings, concept maps can also be used to aid cooperative learning activities and the development of a common understanding about the mapping subject. This process imposes requirements on tool support that have hardly been addressed in existing concept mapping tools. We present a tabletop interface designed to meet these requirements. In an empirical study, the positive effects on the cooperative mapping process facilitated by the proposed system have been shown in comparison to a traditional, screen-based system. %G English %Z TC 13 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01591836/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01591836/file/978-3-642-23765-2_31_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01591836 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01591836 %~ IFIP-LNCS %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-TC13 %~ IFIP-INTERACT %~ IFIP-LNCS-6948 %~ INFOLOGY-INFOLOGIE
