lecture/lecturer: a good first step

The Pedagogical Technique of getting key information to an audience through the presentation of prepared materials by an instructor, coach, or expert, in order to raise awareness (such as of theoretical principles and models), demonstrate analysis, and present processes, including compliance requirements. In many corporations, lectures are done remotely through webinars. Many freshman classes are taught in 300-student lecture-halls.

Lectures can sometimes be interactive, but more often they feign interactivity. For example, a lecturer may ask what seems like an open-ended question, (suc as, "what is the most important quality of a security process?") but only accepts as correct the student answers that predict the already prepared material. This is the "guess what I am thinking" phenomenon, and quickly disempowers students.

Within a sim deployment

Lectures can present background material and briefing before a sim, and kick off an after action review (AAR) after the sim.

Contrast to speech.

Author's note: Expecting someone to learn from a lecture alone is like expecting someone to be drive a car by reading the instruction manual.
