“…Opinion is divided about the value of the lecture versus 'active learning' teaching sessions. Supporters of the lecture describe the value of didactic delivery during lectures to initiate a 'dialogic relationship' between lecturer and students (Fulford & Mahon, 2018), and criticise the view of transmissive knowledge exchange during a 'traditional lecture' as an inaccurate representation of the interaction between teacher and students during such sessions (Abeysekera & Dawson, 2015), and the learning processes triggered by the lecture (Thaman, Dhillon, Saggar, Gupta & Kaur, 2013).
