Knowledge mapping tools in the educational technology domain currently support learners and teachers in creating and visualizing a knowledge repository, usually of subject matter content or links to such content. This research proposes a pedagogically-informed knowledge map design, where knowledge is conceptualised as a contextualized competence, and proposes a tool for creating and visualizing knowledge and recommending appropriate learning and teaching materials. An experiment is reported which found that the use of knowledge mapping and the tool significantly correlated with academic performance.
