Content, Content, Content… Oration, Explanation, Demonstration, Conversation, Facilitation/Application, Observation, Examination
 (Stimulation, Agitation, Irritation)
Analog vs. Digital: VCR, Overhead…
Interactive vs. Passive
Although not a fan of PowerPoint…

Lecture and Learning
The lecture format—a technique of covering content that is preferred by students with sequential auditory processing abilities only—continues to dominate as a preferred form of teaching in many college classrooms.
Farquharson (1995)
…learners who process primarily by sight become Easily frustrated by a professor who mainly uses auditory, lecture approach to teach course content.
Sarasin (1998)

If One Lectures…
We Speak to Groups
It is heard by individuals
Triage Mentality for Education
Consider Individuals within the Group
Provide Multiple Paths for understanding
Textual Reinforcement and Scaffolding
Mixed-Media Reinforcement and Supplement

Appropriate “ Chalk and Talk”
Which Audience?
Learner-Centered Lecture
Sophistication and Preparation
Interest Level and Capacity

9 or 10  Motives for Tech Enhancement
Embed Note taking and Organizational Strategies into Instruction (scaffolding)
Use of a Citation Device
Consider Parallel Processing…
Dual Coding “the creation of both verbal and visual memories of the same information.”
Paivio (1971)
“you might remember the definition of a term that you read, and you might also remember the corner of the page on which it was represented.”
Tigner (1999)

9 or 10  Motives for Tech Enhancement
Attention vs. Will
Repetition Continuity
Artifact of Preparation
Modeling Current Best Practice
Remediation
Seamless Transitions
Novelty

What to do with Notes?

How to Fix the “Sit and Git ”
Lecture 80% of College Class Time
Armbruster (2000)
Student’s Scores
Without noted info 15% chance of retention
With noted information 50% chance of retention for a test
Aiken, Thomas, & Schennum (1975)

Students Typically Record Incomplete Information
Only 20-40% of Important Lecture Ideas
Kiewra (1985)
Provided Skeletal Notes Promote Complete Note Taking
Hartley (1976)
Non-Skeletal Notes
38% of Ideas Recorded
Skeletal Note Takers
56% of Ideas recorded
Kiewra, Dubois, et al (1991)
Lecture Cues Provided
30% w/o Visual Cues
80% of Board Notes
Locke (1977)

AND THEN THE USE OF THE URL

Technology Enhanced
Lecture

URL’s and the Web
Using Links with additional Media
If you have a dependable computer.
Always go there first
Try to preload the site
Or take an image,
Or snap the screen
Never Surf

Finish Early
Any lecture no matter how well prepared is always well received in small doses, (OK so I do not practice what  I preach)
with lots of OPI…
Off Posterior Instruction

"Finally,"
Finally, not as a disclaimer, but as the larger point, these tools cannot serve as panacea, nor even as a quick fix. They do not improve content, they serve to enhance it. They do not alter ability, they serve to demonstrate an adoption of a current methodology, which must in turn, be served by a meaningful pedagogy.
