Definition

This prompt, Comprehensive Factors List, asks you to examine the benefits and challenges of using lectures in your courses.

Purpose and Goal

Most college professors spend some portion of class time presenting material in a lecture. We want our lectures to be engaging, but many of us simply do not have the time to consider what creates an effective lecture and to reflect on why they’re an important part of the educational experience. This activity asks you to consider both the benefits of lecturing and the potential roadblocks. In doing so, you’ll think more deeply about why lecturing is important and how to do it so that it has the maximum benefit for learners.
