Interactive lectures are didactic learning sessions in which the instructor uses an activity (sometimes called an “engagement trigger”) to promote learner engagement with the course material, at least once during the lecture, but ideally more than once. Familiar techniques include think-pair-share, one-minute paper, and muddiest point.
