Experimental Workshop
A collection of software, teaching tools, and experimental applications.
Map an argument on a board: claims as boxes, support arrows from reasons to the claims they back, dashed arrows for objections and replies. The map is written out in standard form as you build it. No sign-in. Your map stays in your own browser.
Transforms natural-language arguments into standard form for clearer analysis, teaching, and discussion.
A more personal layer for Canvas LMS, designed to reduce friction and make online courses easier to navigate.
An AI-assisted workspace that preserves context and supports long-term scholarly projects.
Conversational access to catalogs from every California college. Testing is by invitation for now. Request an invitation.
An open research corpus of catalogs from every California Community College, California State University campus, and University of California campus, built for search, comparison, and computational analysis.
A lightweight tool that helps small groups organize their work, coordinate contributions, and collaborate more effectively.
A repeatable practice drill for coding single sentences: ten per round, drawn at random, with instant feedback. No sign-in, nothing recorded.
Draw the diagram for a categorical proposition or a syllogism and find out exactly what is wrong when it is wrong, section by section. Practice rounds drawn at random, plus a sandbox that takes an argument of your own. No sign-in, nothing recorded.
Build a schematized argument line by line: support statements above the inference line, the conclusion below, tributary arguments linked into the main one. Copy or download the result as plain text. No sign-in. Your draft stays in your own browser.
Read a short news story, choose its main point, connect the other points to it, and code each relation. Every line is checked, and the key starts from your own main point when it works. Stories drawn at random. No sign-in, nothing recorded.
Five short steps from a single sentence to a whole story: code two-point sentences, join them into one story, then build structured paraphrases from a given main point and from your own. It leads into Structured Paraphrase Practice. No sign-in. Your progress stays in your own browser.
Write a structured paraphrase of your own: the main point, the points under it, and a code for each. Copy it into Canvas or download it, and see any argument in it laid out as a schematized argument. No sign-in. Your draft stays in your own browser.
