Abstract

Lectures as method of instruction are conversely discussed in the literature, but despite all critics are lectures still widely used in academic institutions. The efficiency of these lectures is highly dependent on their design. Patterns can help with the design process, but even though quite a lot of educational design patterns have already been published, not many of them address the design of good lectures. All published lecture-relevant patterns focus on some specific aspects of lecture design, but what is missing are the underlying higher level aspects: the basics needed for laying the foundation of good lectures. In this paper we propose five fundamental lecture design patterns that address these higher level aspects: SUITABLE CONTENT SELECTION, SUITABLE DELIVERY FORM SELECTION, REGULAR ATTENTION RECUPERATION, LECTURE STRUCTURING, and IMAGINATION STIMULATION.
