Abstract: Inspiring learning through active participation in a Master in Business Administration (MBA) technology course is difficult. The traditional lecture and testing method reduces student learning to a passive experience. For three years debates have integrated into an MBA course at the University of Indianapolis to promote more participation for students and present more challenge to learning. This paper presents the findings of research which investigated the effectiveness of debates in the classroom.
