Argumentation Education (ArguEd) iCMA - Paul Piwek

This section contains a variety of resources. These include not only items produced by eSTEeM but also other items which we think may be of interest to the higher education teaching community, including journal articles, presentations, websites and links to videos.

The following video shows an example of an interactive computer marked exercise which is aimed at helping students develop the skill to analyse the argumentative structure of a short piece of text.

The expected analysis is in the form of an argument map/diagram which visualises this structure. The map depicts how the claims in the text are connected through argumentative relations (i.e. SUPPORT and OPPOSE). The exercise is implemented in OpenMark and integrated in a Moodle quiz. This paper describes the context of the exercise and evaluation results.
