Public deliberation in complex socio-technical debates is critical, but poorly supported
by today’s social media platforms: it is hardly possible for citizens and community
managers to quickly grasp the state of a public debate, know where they might best
contribute to advance understanding, and effectively identify and pursue socially
innovative ideas.
Debate Hub is an innovative tool for community deliberation that provides an intuitive
interface for large-scale argumentation and advanced analytics and visualisations
to enhance sensemaking, attention mediation and community moderation.
Debate Hub helps communities to identify the most robust ideas in the noise. It provides
a collaboration environment in which ideas can be debated and assessed, in a way that
it is not the most popular idea to win, but the one for which the best arguments are
brought forward and the best evidence are provided.
Debate Hub also supports informed participation to public debates by providing a collective
intelligence visualization dashboard consisting of summary analytics and attention
mediation feedback. These features support newcomers to get a sense of where is the
debate at and where is the best way for them to contribute. The DebateHub Visualization
Dashboard is also a tool for community managers to monitor their community, promote
attention and prioritize community’s resources and actions. |
