The classroom is no longer the unique centre of learning, based on information delivery through a lecture." Traditionally, learning has been situated in classrooms or lecture halls, where the presence of an expert or specialist in a subject takes to the stage and delivers knowledge directly to the assembled students.

Photo by Kevin Harber on Flickr Watching my colleagues from around the UK posting images of themselves with their new cohorts of students gives me mixed feelings. Lecturing at a university can appear glamorous. But behind the scenes, there are a thousand and one other jobs lecturers must do just to keep their heads above water.

Looking back on my journey through various careers, and my current work as a lecturer in a university, I think that in a strange kind of way, I have become the explorer I always wanted to be. So here I am, at the National University of Singapore , preparing to give the annual distinguished lecture for a group of research fellows.

At the recent ALT-C Conference in Nottingham (which I couldn''t attend) a very good question was asked by Renee Filius on Twitter: How can we enable true two-way interaction between lecturers and students that is not too time consuming? This is a perennial question, one that often exercises the minds of many higher education lecturers.

Teachers often believe they should lecture, to directly instruct so they can impart important content to their students. Sometimes this is necessary, but often lecturing is the best way to transfer notes from the teacher''s textbook into the student''s notebook without having to pass through two minds.

Here are five key things to remember: 1) Lectures. When you're there, don't look as though you're bored in lectures and seminars (even if you are). Not all lectures are engaging - even though they should be! - Your lecturer/professor is not your mate, so don't treat them as though they are. Unported License.
