Abstract

We describe and investigate a web-based CSCL system called EDDiE to help students analyze multiple conflicting information through collaborative interactions. The application allows students to organize a visual representation to compare and contrast information from multiple conflicting documents in order to resolve disagreements among the documents. The system embeds epistemic scaffolds to guide students' reasoning as they resolve disagreements. Based on the Grasp of Evidence framework, the application helps students collaboratively analyze and compare claims, sources, and evidence across multiple documents. Students thereby deeply discuss reasons for disagreements, seek to resolve the disagreements, and develop their own reasonable conclusion. A preliminary evaluation in a university class (with selected results reported here) showed that the designed epistemic scaffolds and epistemic script elicited productive discussion to justify students' decisions.
