I am a proponent of something called "active lecturing". The theory which supports this process presumes some things about how people learn. The process is one of constructing knowledge and happens best with expert facilitation and high levels of interaction among participants and instructor.
In medical education, my profession, there is a plethora of old-style lecture halls like this one at the University of Illinois at Urbana School of Medicine. Such architecture does not enhance opportunities for active learning, but good instructors can overcome the setting.
I was at this place attempting to demonstrate how an instructor can overcome the setting to engage learners and create an active learning climate. It was fun working "against" the setting.
