+ "What technologies can be used for measuring knowledge acquisition of learners in a constructionist environment?"
+
+This assignment turned out to be extremely hard for me to carry on because the
+question I had chosen, expecially in its original formulation, was truly
+a //reserch// question with no well established answer.
+
+=== Mind Map ===
+
+This concept-map was supposed to drive me through my research.
+
+The suggested software package to carry on this assignment was [[http://www.inspiration.com/Inspiration | Inspiration]].
+However, due to my personal preference of using [[FreeSoftware]] whenever possible, I opted for another
+software package for Linux called [[http://www.gnome.org/~dscorgie/screenshots.html | Labyrinth]], which
+also exists as a [[http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4078 | Sugar Activity]].
+
+Labyrinth has very few features, but its interaction model is nice and minimalistic, which is what you generally
+want mind-mapping software to be.

+quick presentation of 10 slides, 10 seconds each.
