The participants studied target new knowledge with an e-book in pairs; at first, all the knowledge points that appear in the e-book were displayed and learners in each pair were encouraged to actively create relations between the knowledge concepts together; after completing the task, they can compare their learner-generated relations with expert-generated relations. The learning perception of one hundred and forty-three participants are analyzed and discussed.
