Sero! is no longer available.

We are grateful to the 100s of teachers and students who helped us design and test Sero!

And to the numerous sponsors who enabled us to grow Sero! into a revolutionary assessment capability. 

We’ll keep looking for opportunities — and hopefully the assessment community will catch up. 😉

And we’ll continue to host this site to promote concept mapping for assessment.

If you have any questions about Sero!, or concept mapping in general, email brian@perigeantechnologies.com

"A review of more than 140 experiments suggests that concept mapping is superior to rote memorization because it encourages students to make richer, more meaningful connections within a topic."

"An important step for anchoring knowledge is reflection. This could include students making 'concept maps': diagrams through which they can connect concepts, including hierarchies and chronologies."
