It provides a learning mode that students or employees learn through interactions with a wide range of multimedia resources and through communications with peers. While e-learners are provided more freedom in knowledge acquisition and construction, they often suffer from cognitive overload as well as conceptual and navigational disorientation. In this context, a coherent mental representation of knowledge structure is essential. A variety of paper and pencil methods were used for knowledge externalization and visualization, while computer-based technologies expand the capacity by virtue of machine-processable knowledge modeling, visualization, reasoning, and analysis. Visualization methods help people to construct knowledge, organize information, and communicate learning with others. With the emergence of social media and Web 2.0 technologies, knowledge construction and knowledge management practices have been well supported through social networking and communities of practice. In the meantime, knowledge visualization has been extended to visualizing social network structure for effective communication and collaboration in e-learning and knowledge management. </font></font></span></p>
