Concept map has been widely employed to promote knowledge understanding in various academic disciplines. This study developed an extended open-ended concept map to enhance meaningful learning through two phases of concept map construction that calls Extended Scratch-Build (ESB). The study included software development process, experimental use, and results analysis. The functionality test showed that this learning support application could run properly. We examined that the proposed design of the ESB concept map can enhance meaningful learning. The experimental results also indicated that the ESB concept map had a significant impact on learners' knowledge understanding, which was represented by using the paired t-test statistical analysis on the pre-test and post-test scores. © 2019 IEEE.
