The Institute for the Interdisciplinary Study of Human & Machine Cognition (IHMC) in Florida works on the interdisciplinary study of human-computer cognition.
Version 6 of its CmapTools program takes the concept of concept maps, of "mapping," those diagrams intended to represent ideas, to a new level. It provides powerful tools that enable the collaborative creation, organization, evaluation, and sharing of learning object distribution models on an ever-growing collection of servers around the world or on your organization's server.
The home page of the CmapTools site illustrates the approach right away. There you can download the program for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
