ALAN LABUS

Aims:
engaging students in structured online discussion about AR/VR topics using the Silent Debate method on Kialo Edu. 
developing critical thinking and communication skills through evidence-based pro/con argumentation and respectful rebuttals. 
raising awareness of AR/VR opportunities and risks in education, society, and future professions (VET context). 
Learning outcomes:
to explain key AR/VR applications and relevance for learning and work contexts. 
to evaluate a debate thesis by rating its relevance/veracity and justifying the rating with reasoning. 
to construct clear pro/con claims supported by evidence (examples, facts, or logical arguments). 
to respond to opposing arguments by writing respectful rebuttals and comments within a structured debate thread.

1) How to implement the Kialo Edu Silent Debate in class (or in an international webinar)
hoose debate topics / theses
Use AR/VR-related statements such as: “Virtual Reality should replace traditional classroom learning.” ; “AR and VR technologies pose a serious threat to personal privacy.”; “Immersive VR games do more harm than good to young people.”

2) Create the Kialo Edu debate(s); Create one debate per team OR one common debate with assigned roles.
Turn on:
ratings / voting
comments/replies
Prepare instructions and share links.

3) Warm-up/context; Teacher introduces (attached presentation):
Why AR/VR matters (VET sectors: hairdressing & beauty, tourism, culinary, IT/design). 
Why debate can be sensitive → introduce Silent Debate as respectful, structured discussion.

4) Explain “Silent Debate” rules:
Write short, clear claims.
Add evidence/examples.
Be polite in comments.

5) Students join teams + check role (Pro/Con). Students follow the workflow in the PDF:
Find the Padlet link in chat.
Go to team.
Check pro/con.
Click Kialo link.
(Join breakout room.)
Return for reflection.
Respond to ideas, not people.

6) Rate the thesis: Students open the Kialo debate and rate the veracity of the thesis.

7) Add pro/con arguments: Students add arguments -  Pro team: add Pro claims & Con team: add Con claims
Teacher support sentence starters:
“One reason is…”
“This matters because…”
“For example…”
“A risk is…”

8) Read others + vote: Students read other students’ arguments and vote on the strongest claims.

9) Write rebuttals: Students write rebuttals/counterarguments:
Rebuttal structure:
“I understand your point, however…”
“This argument assumes that…, but…”
“A limitation of this claim is…”

10) Comment/reply politely: Students comment in discussion threads and reply respectfully.

11) Reflection & closure:
What was the strongest argument you read today?
Did anyone change their mind? Why?
What skills did you practice (critical thinking, collaboration, digital literacy)?

12) Assessment:
Participation (posted at least 2 claims + 1 rebuttal)
Quality of argument (relevant, logical, evidence-based)
Interaction (votes + comments)
Respectful communication

13) Self-check table (ttached)
