Lessons at own pace!
Students will start their mornings with "complete at your own pace" prepared lecture content and assignments. Materials will be posted to modules and debate activity pages on Canvas. Students can listen to lectures and submit questions to our staff. They can use this time to fill out learning outcome materials to help our staff adapt to your students needs. They can complete their case writing and research work all while using any electronic device. Faculty will be available to assist during the morning for online engagement. The goal of this session is flexibility to allow students the ability to learn on their own time during busy morning hours. In short, students can watch a "videocast" with live assistance without a mandated synchronous learning sessions.
Debate Lab time!
Students will interact in live debate labs lead by their instructors. These labs will be filled with lessons, mini and full practice debates and speeches, games, and student-to-student interactions. We will utilize the full slate of IU's online education technologies including Zoom and Canvas to maintain live interactions.
Lectures and content will be recorded and available for all students who may miss a portion of our meetings due to connectivity issues or scheduling conflicts.
Students will enter "breakout" rooms for practice debates in front of our experienced staff.
Skill development and Feedback!
Semi-asynchronous. Campers will complete and upload their "redo" speeches for feedback from our staff.
Students can meet with designated night staff in Zoom rooms for more advanced and individualized feedback.
Research assignments, speech writing and argument development assistance will be provided by our staff.
