Description: The objective of the interactive event is to demonstrate potentials and pitfalls of computer support for argumentative discussions. The emphasis is on one specific kind of computer support, i.e. shared workspace systems. The participants get acquainted with the Digalo tool that has been implemented and evaluated in a large number of real life classroom experiments. We introduce two pedagogical methods for supporting argumentative discussions. Through a process a dialectical inquiry the participants identify and discuss ‘conflicting’ assumptions behind the two pedagogical methods and the consequences of their application in educational practice.
