Webinar the Presidential Debate
By Allan Louden 09/21/2008 09:32:50 PM EST
This Tuesday join in a preview of Friday's Presidential Debate. The National Communication Association (NCA) is initiating a Webinar series on Campaign 2008.

My class participated in the inaugural Wedinar a couple weeks ago on campaign oratory. Having students interacting in real time with the panelist proved thought-provoking. I recommend giving it a try.

For Tuesday: Date & time: September 23,noon to 1pm (EDT): Do Presidential Debates Matter? This Webinar explores the importance and place of debates in Campaign 2008.
Panelists: Bill Benoit (Missouri), Gordon Mitchell (Pittsburgh), Kathryn Olson (Wisconsin-Milwaukee)

The first Webinar has been archived and more information on Tuesday's event is at the NCA Website.
