The classroom is an excellent place to learn and grow as an instructor. As instructors teach their students, they are also learning from them.

Delivering course content is important to keep students' interest and enhances their ability to learn the content. Trying a variety of methods is appropriate. People can only maintain interest in a subject for a short period of time around 15 to 18 minutes. The most important information needs to be addressed first.
Interesting the attention span of 15-18 minutes, retention of 25% of what we heard, 40% of what we read, comprehend 5-7 items. These are valuable data when planning a lecture or presentation.

It was interesting to hear that the block of time for our ability to learn or pay attention to a lecture is 15-18 mins. I will be implementing this time frame into my lectures and then switch gears to a more interactive format.
