	%X Concept maps can be generated manually or
automatically. It is important to recognize differences of the two
types of concept maps. The automatically generated concept maps
are dynamic, interactive, and full of associations between the terms
on the maps and the underlying documents. Through a specific
concept mapping system, Visual Concept Explorer (VCE), this paper
discusses how automatically generated concept maps are different
from manually generated concept maps and how different
applications and learning opportunities might be created with the
automatically generated concept maps. The paper presents several
examples of learning strategies that take advantages of the
automatically generated concept maps for concept learning and
exploration.
