==The VUE Project==

==The VUE Project==

The Visual Understanding Environment (VUE) project at Tufts UIT Academic Technology is focused on creating flexible tools for managing and integrating digital resources in support of teaching, learning and research. VUE provides a flexible visual environment for structuring, presenting, and sharing digital information. Using VUE's concept mapping interface, faculty and students design [[semantic networksnetwork]]s of digital resources drawn from digital libraries, local and remote file systems.

== Releases ==

Tufts University's VUE development team has coordinated releases of the VUE project. The project's most recent release, VUE 23, has added many new features which distinguish it from traditional [[concept mapping]] tools. <ref>http://vue.tufts.edu/forums/topic.cfm?cf_id=8&t_id=197 According to an announcement</ref> made by the VUE team on their forums, new features include: tools for dynamic presentation of maps, map merge and analysis tools,

enhanced [[keyword tagging]] and search capabilities, support for [[Semantic Webmapper|semantic mapping]] using [[ontologies]], expanded search of online resources (such as [[Flickr]], [[Yahoo]], [[Twitter]], or [[PubMed]], etc.).
