Oddly enough, Twardy's research in philosophy (as opposed to philosophy education) is related to Pearlean counterfactuals. He worked somewhat with Lucas Hope on a tool called "Causal Reckoner".

However, my google-fu is not strong enough to find the software itself. Possibly contacting the various individuals involved would be necessary.

Luke Hope and Karl Axnick did most of the work on Causal Reckoner. I have used it, but I did very little to develop it. However, I believe it is GPL, so it could be posted.
