Belvedere

Software for constructing and reflecting on diagrams of one's ideas

Belvedere is designed to help support problem-based collaborative learning scenarios with evidence and concept maps. With our software, middle-school and high-school students learn critical inquiry skills that they can apply in everyday life as well as in science.

Originally developed by Dan Suthers and colleagues while at the Learning and Resource Development Center at the University of Pittsburgh, the third and fourth generations of Belvedere were engineered at LILT to support multiple representational views (tables and hierarchies as well as graphs) on evidence models. Belvedere 4, programmed by David Burger, also adds support for concept maps and causal models. Several other experimental versions of Belvedere also exist at LILT.
