The first of two DVDs that identify and demonstrate the strategies that both engage students during lectures, and that have been identified by research as effective in promoting student learning. Video clips provide examples of actual classroom instruction by outstanding teachers at Stanford University, often supplemented by the teachers’ own insights and explanations. The video sequences illustrate key principles and techniques that viewers can adapt to their own contexts and styles. Although all the clips present the teaching of mathematics, the natural and life sciences, and engineering, the content is readily understandable by instructors from other disciplines and presents no barrier to applying the methods and techniques to other fields. The DVDs and documentation provide the theoretical background to the strategies, explain how they work, and discuss the relationships among them. The complete documentation is available free on the Stylus Web site. The documentation offers suggestions on using the DVDs for self-study by faculty, for training of TAs, with informal groups, for faculty development and consultation, and for conducting workshops for faculty and students. * This material was first published as video tapes under the titles of Effective Lecturing I & II and was distributed by Anker Press.
