Session 7: Argument mapping in action

Introduction

This session, you will put the argument-mapping recipe from Session 6 into practice.

You will also examine several arguments around digital technologies, such as the internet, social media platforms and encryption.

The session concludes with a discussion of tools for sharing maps and the role of implicit assumptions in argument mapping.

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

• create an argument map that captures the content of a short text that makes an argument
• contribute to a shared argument map
• explain the role of assumptions in argument mapping.
