Definition

  • In the context of this wiki, this entry refers to lecturing in higher education (1 teacher plus many students).

Lecturing is not just content delivery:

We also should make a distinction between lecturing as "telling" (i.e. as pedagogic method of presentation) to be combined with other methods and lecturing as global pedagogic strategy and that includes exhibits, demonstrations, question/response interactions, small student activities, etc.

  • Presentation software (all sorts, e.g. powerpoint)
  • Interactive demonstrations with software (e.g. simulations)
  • Voting and question management systems (via student's notebooks and mobile devices)
  • Overlay techniques, e.g. with a whiteboard or a tablet PC
    • Teacher uses "half-baked" teaching materials and adds things
    • Teacher can blend in student contributions (votes, questions, etc.)
