I’ve tried various experiments with teaching using them, including giving them as resources to my students, presenting workshops from an interlinked knowledge graph which I could navigate if there were questions, and creating a crowdsourced one for a class.
I have not found to be an interlinked knowledge graph to be a very effective teaching tool, nor a very effective learning tool. In some sense, this has already been created with the internet, wikipedia, etc. There are various interlinked knowledge graphs available like The Climate Web ( https://app.thebrain.com/brains/2cfec560-6321-4d32-a42f-f04ad33f1092/thoughts/d9fcbf68-f835-517d-aa79-fe76f30cca47/notes )

The key problem with all of them is lack of linear learning path. Interlinked graphs of knowledge are excellent “WHAT” resources (https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/oPEWyxJjRo4oKHzMu/the-3-books-technique-for-learning-a-new-skilll#The__What__Book), however they are horrible at “How”( https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/oPEWyxJjRo4oKHzMu/the-3-books-technique-for-learning-a-new-skilll#The__How__Book) - there are too many paths, it’s too easy to get lost. You need an expert to show you what’s important, what’s dependent on what else, and what would be most easily digested first.
Thanks, I hadn’t thought about those limitations
