CoolModes has been developed by the Collide group in UDE (http://www.collide.info/).
CoolModes is a learning environment used as a framework for various visual languages with domain specific semantics that support modelling activities. Representations with different semantics (e.g. Petri Nets, System Dynamics, Concept Maps) can serve as either operational or conceptual models, which can be enhanced through annotating these models using visual languages to support argumentations and scientific inquiry. The Cool Modes framework allows the learner to mix different modelling languages including annotation tools in the same workspace. Discrete palettes indicate the domain to what the modelling activities are related to. (Wichmann, Kuhn & Hoppe, 2006).
