As a long-time trainer, professor, and teacher, I feel strongly that interactive learning activities – going beyond the death by Powerpoint Lecture – is the key to retention and application for participants.

Recent research and teaching practice shows that the lecture is a less effective teaching tool. The point is to keep the lecturing or “push” content to the limits of the human attention span and look for opportunities for sharing and interaction.

I am certainly not the right person to lecture on inclusion. Blind interviews are becoming more popular as a need for diversity and unbiased hiring decisions is growing.

Gallery Talks become conversations instead of lectures (well, for some audiences). We did quick surveys and I did interviews. Signage goes from subtle enough to be hidden to useful to visitors.
