Talk details:
Tools for teaching logic
Maria Manzano
Salamanca, Spain
I will tell you about the European ALFA project on Tools for Teaching Logic that we had last century and about the International TTL Congresses that we held in 2000, 2006, 2011, 2015, and 2023.
The first goal of the ALFA project was to share our experience as teachers among Aracne members. We proposed: (1) the preparation of a metabook (with hypertext version), (2) the design of an on-line dictionary of logic terms, (3) the investigation of the existing software for the teaching of logic, (4) the translation of both elementary and interdisciplinary texts and software, (5) to help potential authors to write lecture notes, (6) the dissemination of our project both within our academic community and outside it (high school), thus bolstering a good image of Logic and (7) to support women's participation in higher education.
The network we created was interdisciplinary and included professors and researchers from philosophy, mathematics, computer science, and linguistics. Some of the results of the project can be consulted on the Aracne website (aracne.usal.es.) and others in the Summa Logicae digital library (logicae.usal.es)
