or not to lecture

Learning with e's

In my previous post I wrote that even though research shows lectures to be less than effective in helping students to learn, they still persist in higher education. The key question is: What can replace the lecture? Worse still, they may decide not to attend lectures at all. There is no point simply talking at them for an hour.

Remember, Visio is not a standard part of MS Office and requires a separate license (and it’s expensive). In my free time, I enjoy reading, medical lectures, belly dancing and regular visits to my massage therapist.

Visions, values and video streaming

Learning with e's

During the sessions we will discuss social and political influences the curriculum, and explore many of the theories, practices and influences that have made school what it is today (for better or for worse). Unported License. We will feature a series of presentations and dialogues which we are calling 'learning events'.
