Abstract

Mobile devices now enable students to engage in nomadic inquiry as they collect large amounts of data from the environment to answer scientific questions. To support them with constructing scientific arguments, we created CogniBits: a system designed for tablet devices that scaffolds students through creating scientific arguments with user-collected data. The system was iteratively designed with two students and seeks to address the additional challenges these opportunities bring to science inquiry.
