A concept based digital study guide and annotation system on paper textbook

Concept maps are an effective way of representing a person's understanding of a domain of knowledge. The traditional way of constructing concept maps uses paper and pencil. The concept maps, that time, were not easy to construct incrementally, and there was no such tools to help students to scaffold the concept maps. Although there are lots of tools to help students constructing concept maps recently, students still learning from paper textbook most of time. Additionally they have to context switch between paper and computer to search for the concepts to link and the description for the relationships of two concepts. Therefore, we propose a mechanism, Concept Base Study Guide system, by pen gesture for organizing the computer and the paper textbook to develop concept maps, and scaffold student constructing concept maps easily and incrementally.
