LucidChart is the missing link in online productivity suites. LucidChart allows users to create, collaborate on, and publish attractive flowcharts and other diagrams from a web browser. To accomplish this, it adheres to the following design ideals: The interface must be clean and intuitive to serve as a solution for experienced diagrammers and new users alike. Collaboration must be easy to set up and easy to use. Users should never be locked out of a document, or kept from editing it, just because another user is currently working on it. The experience will be the same across different browsers and devices without using plugins (i.e., Flash) by building on HTML5 and other web standards. Publishing to PDF or other image formats must be easy and robust.

" Recently, an instructional technique known as K-W-L, created by Ogle (1986) was introduced into classrooms. Teachers activate students' prior knowledge by asking them what they already Know; then students (collaborating as a classroom unit or within small groups) set goals specifying what they Want to learn; and after reading students discuss what they have Learned. Students apply higher-order thinking strategies which help them construct meaning from what they read and help them monitor their progress toward their goals. A worksheet is given to every student that includes columns for each of these activities. "
