Paper Abstract:      Web-based investigative learning is a form of learning where learners investigate Web resources to construct knowledge on a question. In our previous work, we have designed a learning model and a cognitive tool named iLSB to support learners in expanding the initial question into sub-questions so as to deepen and widen their investigation, and in creating their own learning scenario. The learning model consists of two processes of "knowledge construction" and "knowledge linearization". Learners are expected to construct knowledge using iLSB in the former process, and to linearize their knowledge to prepare a paper for report on their investigation in the latter process In this paper, we focus on how to help learners to make a summary of the paper by means of graphic organizers, which embed five types of information structure in expository text. This paper demonstrates how iLSB allows learners to build text structure of a summary with graphic organizers. We also report a case study whose purpose was to assess the effectiveness of it. The results suggest that graphic organizers function effectively as a scaffold for building comprehensive summary with fewer efforts.
