Paper Abstract:
|
This paper discusses the usability and applicability of argumentation-based knowledge. We are especially interested to find out how the sense-making of argumentation-based knowledge by contemporary Web users could be supported. We use the Lost on the Moon experiment for studying this and compare the achieved results between three experimental groups and a control group. These results demonstrate that support for explicating information and voting over proposed solutions may help in the sense-making process, in particular with issues which are in a true sense open for debate. The sense-making was partially improved in all three experimental versions implemented. The experiment emphasizes that in order to support complex problems it is the simple solutions with easy to use interfaces that are needed in the Web2.0 era. |
