<p>An Oxford-Style debate is a communication process in which participants argue for and against a given topic. According to Wikipedia, physical Oxford-Style debate is a competitive debate format featuring a sharply framed motion that is proposed by one side and opposed by another. A winner is declared in an Oxford-Style debate either by the majority or by which team has swayed more audience members between the two votes.</p>
<p>The online version of the Oxford-style debates adaptes the physical model and makes it possible to expand the capabilities of both speakers and audience:</p>
<ul>
<li>Moderator propose a topic with two opposite views and stimulate the debate.</li>
<li>Speakers defense their proposal with argument using web connectivity and multimedia.</li>
<li>Community can vote the proposals and comment fixing its position on the proposals of the speakers or raising their own alternatives.</li>
</ul>

<p>This easy-to-use plugin allows you to embed SquareOffs® directly into your content without ever leaving WordPress.</p>
<p>SquareOffs microdebates™ allow digital publishers of all sizes to engage readers, increase traffic, gain insight, and generate new revenue. They are more than just another poll. SquareOffs allow you to engage your readers in an interactive conversational debate where they not only choose a side, but can also explain “why” they made their choice. Readers love it because they can make their voice heard, invite others to join the conversation, vote up top reasons supporting their side, and easily access relevant comments within the innovative dual comment stream. Readers are kept on your site rather than social networks, allowing you to own the conversation.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>SquareOffs placed in an article receive 41% more comments than standard commenting systems.</p>
<p>Readers spend an average of 13 seconds longer on article pages when interacting with a SquareOff.</p>
