Subject: [WikiEducator] Wiki Visualization Tool (CC-BY-SA); can we use
or adapt this?


Hi All,

I just found a reference to DebateGraph on the BBC News site:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7827112.stm

A visit to the DebateGraph site -- http://debategraph.org/

n pursuit of this goal, Debategraph is:

(1) A wiki debate visualization tool that lets you:

* present the strongest case on any debate that matters to you;
* openly engage the opposing arguments;
* create and reshape debates, make new points, rate and filter the
arguments;
* monitor the evolution of debates via RSS feeds; and,
* share and reuse the debates on and offline;

(2) A web-based, creative commons project to increase the transparency
and rigor of public debate everywhere-by making the collective insight
and intelligence of the global community freely available to all and
filtering out the noise.

* Every debate map is provisional and open to iterative
improvement by anyone who participates.
* Over time, the debate maps will mature into the definitive
articulations of each debate.
* Every change you make-whether correcting a text, adding a new
argument, or starting a new debate-contributes towards the fulfilment
of this social promise.
* So be bold as a first time visitor-and safe in the knowledge
that a full editing history provides a safety net.

(3) A global graph of all the debates that enables us to visualise and
deepen our understanding of the ways in which different debates are
semantically interrelated, and ways in which these interrelated
debates shape, and are shaped by, each other.


My Question: Could we make use of this visualization software somehow?
Could educators integrate this into some of their learning activities?
