Abstract

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 view, coupled with context sensitive features. This paper discusses the visualization design in TM4L and some development issues.
