    The lecture mode is the oldest teaching method and the traditional lecture method is the most widely used across the world (Smith & Valentine, 2012).  However, when compared to other teaching methods, it is often not as effective in areas such as student retention of information, transfer of knowledge, and problem-solving. 

    Come join this session as you transform a traditional lecture to an innovative, engaging teaching and learning opportunity. With some easy to implement powerful changes, your students will learn more and be engaged.
