iArgue: A Web-Based Argumentation System Supporting Collaboration Scripts with Adaptable Fading

In this work we present the architecture of a Web-based system for argumentation (iArgue) that couples collaboration scripts with argumentation. The system takes into account latest research on collaboration scripts and implements script mechanisms for fading, rotation and repetition. The main goal of building this system is to investigate the fading mechanism and its impact on micro-script internalization and acquisition of argumentation skills.
