I just read a great article over at the thestar.com about Nobel laureate Carl Wieman who wants professors to rethink how they teach.

His message? In a nutshell: reduce the load; stimulate the brain.

A lot of what he recommends is not just applicable to teaching science, it’s also relevant to anyone who presents information to others or works with groups (meetings, presentations, workshops, training etc).

Basically, we need to up the interaction quotient folks!.
