Our online software consists of two interconnected tools - the Ocean Climate Interactive (OCI) and Concept Map Builder (CMB). The webinar on March 16th covered the use of these two tools. Below are clips from the webinar demonstrating some of the tool functions.

Both tools be accessed from http://cosee.umaine.edu/tools.

The Ocean Climate Interactive
The Ocean Climate Interactive is the tool that allows you to view concept maps and assets in an interactive format.

To view the maps from the Aquarius education project, you can login using:

  • username: aquarius_epo
  • password: 2010

The Concept Map Builder is the tool used to create the concept maps you have been seeing in these webinars. It is a workspace with tools that allows you to create, modify, save and share concept maps. This is also where the interactive "assets" are attached to maps, as they connect to the collection of educational materials available in the OCI database.
