Visualizing Topic Maps for e-Learning

TM4L is an e-learning environment providing editing and browsing support for developing and using Topic Maps-based digital course libraries. The TM4L functionality is enhanced by an interactive graphical user interface that combines a hierarchical layout with an animated graphical view, coupled with context sensitive features. This paper discusses the visualization design in TM4L and some development issues. The focus is on the TM4L Viewer, its functionality and GUI.
