Quotation of the Day for April 3, 2015



"However, there is a danger. Dazzling presentations do not necessarily result in learning. The more technologies allow lecturers to illustrate concepts, or large amounts of information, in ways that students cannot record in their notes or immediately commit to long term memory, the less efficient lecturing becomes. It may be entertaining for the big occasion; but entertainment is a different objective from learning and educational development."

- Donald A. Bligh, from What's the Use of Lectures?
