Following up on a post I made to DEOS - see http://lists.psu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0112&L=deos-l&O=A&P=14622 - Allan Jeong introduced readers to a tool he developed to analyze interactions on discussion boards with regard to critical thinking. The link is to his dissertation and also to a download of the tool. It's on Tripod, so you may have to click through some annoying Doubleclick errors first. What struck me as most interesting was his finding that "arguments were rarely followed by evaluation of an argment's validity, accuracy or relevancy (only 4% of the time).CRLF" Scary.
