Digital technologies are increasingly transforming teaching and learning, particularly through technology-enhanced assessment and feedback systems. This study examines the feasibility and pedagogical utility of the Kit-Build Concept Map (KBCM) system as a technology-supported approach for systematizing serial concept mapping in a human–computer interaction course. A three-week study was conducted with 258 undergraduate students, integrating a re-composition framework with real-time feedback to support continuous refinement of students’ externalized conceptual representations. Pre-tests, post-tests, and concept map analytics were used to evaluate learning gains and concept map structures across instructional sessions. The results show that the KBCM system enabled lecturers to identify individual and class-level map gaps and provide timely, data-informed feedback to support instructional monitoring and pedagogical decision-making. Students showed statistically significant improvements in learning outcomes, consistent progress across instructional weeks, along with a measurable reduction in discrepancies between student-generated maps and the expert map. These findings suggest that serial concept mapping with re-composition and feedback support may help students refine their externalized conceptual representations to become more closely aligned with target knowledge over time. Overall, this study highlights the potential of technology-enhanced concept mapping systems to support continuous instructional feedback, assessment, and data-informed pedagogical practices in higher education. The findings should be interpreted within the context of a short-term, three-week implementation focusing on changes in externalized conceptual representations rather than direct measurement of internal cognitive processes.
