DESCRIPTION

EyePlorer is a free Web 2.0 application that allows learners to “explore and process knowledge.” Learners begin by typing in a word or phrase to research. EyePlorer gathers information from the Web and arranges it into a color wheel of concepts. If users hover over each concept on the color wheel, then they get a brief description about that item. In addition, each term is cross-referenced with associative concepts.
