Abstract:
Recently, course lectures have been divided up into many pieces given by different lecturers with narrower but deeper knowledge. This is in contrast to the older style of all lectures in a course being delivered by a single lecturer. The lectures today are thus overflowing with too much content for students to handle. As a result, oral lectures have lost popularity as educational tools, since their utility is diminished by information overload. The original function of the oral lecture as a method of transmitting knowledge should be reinstated, with the strong support of various educational materials and computers.
