Abstract
The Concept Navigator was first planned during the development of a new first-year undergraduate introductory computing course in the Maths and Computing Faculty of the Open University. The creation of this course prompted a discussion about the function and potential of glossaries in giving a coherent overview of the terms and concepts of a subject area. The Web-based Concept Navigator glossary tool was conceived as a generic tool allowing course authors and learners to engage easily in a process of "concept tracking": getting to grips with terms and concepts, checking how they have been used in course materials, and being able to locate them at a later date. It is capable of tracking each concept (represented by one or more terms) as it develops and sometimes changes meaning within a set of texts. It makes it possible to create glossary entries very simply, and dynamically generates Web pages with three types of glossary structure: an alphabetical listing, a conceptual glossary, and the concept navigator proper.
