Abstract

Specialist Studies in Education

This poster describes the current findings of a three-year action research project investigating the production of synchronous and asynchronous lecture materials and innovative lecture delivery strategies. The aim of our project is to improve the efficacy of face-to-face and online lectures. Ultimately we have developed a lecture delivery best practice toolbox that focuses on a 'learning how to learn' model that gives explicit linkages to all learning materials; by 'chapterising' content into clear and applied modules, and directly trains students to use lecture recordings as a study tool.
