This site represents the work of a writing education course. As part of an investigation of the benefits of online education students explored Web resources related to speech and debate and developed assignments that incorporate public speaking and debate activities. The assignments and resources have been collected here for use by others.

This site has also been designed to enable instructors anywhere to contribute to its resources. Using most available Web browsers, instructors can submit links to additional Web-based resources, comment on assignments that have been collected, or add their own assignments to the online collection.

If you have any questions about this resource, feel free to contact members of Advanced Composition for Teachers or Daniel Anderson.
