Abstract

The lecture method has been and continues to be the object of criticism. But, perhaps, it is not the lecture which should bear the brunt of the criticism, but rather the lecturer. All too often the audience is bored. This article examines several popular media currently used to enliven the lecture. Instructional design theory is used to discuss their limitations. The use of a self-assembled slide show, featuring novelty and humor, is advocated in order to assist the lecturer in gaining attention and, thereby, avoiding the boredom pitfall. Useful suggestions for developing a slide presentation are provided.
