This project investigated the use of the argument mapping technique for helping Computing and Technology students with developing their argument analysis skills. The focus was on scaffolding of these skills through interactive computer-marked assessment.

The approach was deployed in the Level 1 gateway module TU100 (‘My digital life’). Both quantitative and qualitative feedback on the approach was analysed. The results were presented at the 2013 HEA STEM and IEEE EDUCON conferences.
