Confused
Has a question
Not interested
Cant understand the lecturer
Too easy
Distracted by social media
Has difficulty making notes
Are they listening?
Have they completed the pre-lecture activity?
Are some students missing today?
Did they understand that last slide?
Why am I not getting much response to my
questions?Did that last student
question reflect the general consensus?

Ban‘students will engage better without digital distractions’
Ignore ‘not a problem for me because my content/charisma/good looks keeps them sufficiently engaged’
Embrace and Use‘give shy students a voice, help students learn at their pace, give instructors more tools to engage students’

“…design pedagogy which coalesces physical and digital spaces. Accept that students can, and will, be present in multiple spaces if they have a screen with them and find ways to create presence overlaps.”

Some benefits of reinventing
the lecture
For Students
For Educators
For Organisations
• In-class tools to interact with teacher and peers • Mobile-friendly access to lecture resources• Real-time data on progress analytics• Connect pre-, during- and post-lecture learning
• Increased student engagement in lectures• Real-time feedback from students• Ability to deliver teaching as in-class, flipped, live and MOOC-style• Sophisticated analytics to evaluate teaching effectiveness
• Positive impact on TEF-related metrics (eg: NSS, retention, grades)• Integration with other learning systems• Earlier predictive data on student progress• Ability to effectively teach off-campus learners
