Lecture design patterns
Christian Köppe, Michel Portier · 2014
Lectures are still a common method of instruction in academic institutions. But it requires a careful design of lectures in order to make them of pedagogical value. Special attention hereby needs to be paid at the beginning of a lecture, as the beginning is crucial for the success of the whole lecture. A bad beginning where students not even start to pay attention or drift away fast is hard to recover from, such recovery requires extra attention. A good beginning can contribute to an atmosphere where learning is more likely to happen.
