An intelligent textbook is a traditional textbook enhanced with a knowledge graph (KG) making it a source of enhanced learning and instruction. The nodes of a KG are key terms in a textbook and the edges are the relationships between the terms. Relationship selection is the process of selecting the most appropriate relationship type between two different terms to be incorporated into a KG. We demonstrate a tool that allows learners to select relationships between terms embed- ded in a textbook sentence. We created this tool as a key component of a scalable infrastructure for KG construction through crowdsourcing of relationships between automatically extracted terms from a textbook. This task has the potential to be flexibly adapted to different textbooks and content domains. It is also suitable for encouraging relational pro- cessing and, we believe that it has instructional value. Therefore, our future work is focused on the pedagogical evaluation of the relationship selection task with students reading from a textbook.
