CT2.0: A collaborative database of examples for teaching informal logic

Abstract

I propose to create a system of collaborative textbook authorship, review and delivery that would allow for multimedia interactive content and real-life contemporary examples that can take advantage of social networking and other 'web2.0' technologies. The potential for my system is great: the interactivity supported by social-networking frameworks will increase student engagement, the scalable model allows for embedded CT instruction in various disciplines, and the approach allows for a revolutionary model of textbook customization, pricing and distribution. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
