Optimum lecture time
What is the maximum traditional lecture time for optimal learning?
Yes, even though I have a four hour studio class, the longest amount of time I can get them to all pay attention is about 15 minutes at a time. When I have a day with a lot of instruction to be completed, I break it up into several chunks with breaks, skill exercises and studio time. Then they seem to be fresh for each piece of instruction I'm giving them.
Hi Matthew,
Generally, the attention span is at its peak for 15-20 minutes.
