Learning argument visualization has never been easier. The new tutorial slide show at the page tab above makes it easy.

The ease and effectiveness of any argument visualization design is dependent on the underlying concept of argumentation upon which it is based. Old-style conventional hierarchical pyramid approaches rely upon sluggish and unnecessarily complex concepts that are opaque and awkward for the casual reader. (e.g. Can anybody really explain the distinction between a main premise and a co-premise or what an inference looks like?)

This tutorial uses a more intuitive, readable, and ultimately, a more effective approach. It is based on the transitivity of predication (e.g. If A=B and B=C, then A=C;  http://inferencepath.edublogs.org/2007/05/27/how-does-a-transitive-inference-path-work/).

The tutorial uses a simple dialogue to illustrate the visual language.

I hope you find it helpful. And I welcome any suggestions for improvement.
