Educational Quiz on Syllogistic Logic. With logging.
This is Syllog, an educational tool to teach University students about syllogistic logic.
Syllog is part of an ongoing research project on improving teaching methods in logic.
Students can use the web front end for improving their skills in recognizing the validity or invalidity of Aristotelian syllogisms.
Syllog also features a logging back end. Whenever someone (a student, for example) uses the front end tool, question and answer activity is logged anonymously.
We have used this for a number of years to test the abilities of students before, during, and after a course in basic logic. We have then used this and other feedback in an attempt to improve the course for the following year's students.
This research is carried out as a collaboration between the University of Aalborg, Denmark and the Arctic University of Norway, Tromsø. The project is led by Professor Peter Øhrstrøm.
