Donna To add to Anna’s real time note. I worked for a while at AUT in NZ and attended Auckland’s best lecturer awards once. A guy who won it lectured anatomy and physiology to 1000 or so students in two separate 500 seat Lecture theatres (live TV relay, but the theatre with the lecturer in it was the popular one and students would arrive early to be in that room). The award was based on a few things: - clarity of explanation - pace of delivery in real time. Students were expected to copy the live real time drawing of the anatomy under consideration. The lecturer would draw onto an OHP transparency, so no ppt online, and talk through what was being drawn at the same time, with pauses for notes and drawing catch up All rather ‘analogue’ but greatly appreciated by the students. An anecdote to ponder.

I am afraid I can’t remember the author but I do remember that the paper suggested that writing on a board (blackboard or white board) is really helpful for students as they can see the ideas unfold in real time rather than presenting a complete and sanitised version. This is particularly the case in disciplines like mathematics and physics where it is really helpful for the teacher to work through a problem, talking through it as they go and students can follow step by step. There may be something in the physics or mathematics education literature. Sorry I can’t be more help Best wishes Anna From: Online forum for SEDA, the Staff & Educational Development Association [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Donna Hurford Sent: 16 May 2018 08:43 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Writing on the blackboard instead of PPT Dear All, More of our teachers, from different faculties, are moving away from PPT, or blending it with writing on the blackboard during class. Student feedback on the blended approach is generally positive but there’s some dissatisfaction with total replacement of PPT slides. I have been asked if there is research out there on the impact of this approach on student learning. If you have come across or been involved with any research on how reducing or replacing PPT slides with writing on the blackboard during teaching sessions influences learning and/or student engagement I’d really appreciate the references. I will gladly collate and circulate the references.
