Several additional sources with helpful information for both
beginning lecturers and those who want to improve their skills:

1. "What works", a research based compendium published by the U.S.
    Department of Education. Available from Govt. Printing Office,
    Pueblo, CO 81099. For more information about this book you can
    call (202) 783-3238 or  (800) 424-1616, the Office of Education
    Research information office.

2. A practical article: "25 ways to improve any lecture", by Sivalailam
    Thiagarjan, published in Performance & Instruction Journal,
    December 1985.

3. This R&D Center has done some excellent work on improving insturction
    (I'm just a visitor, so I'm not bragging!). Evaluating what you are
    doing and how well you`ve done it are important for developing and
    maintaining lecturing skill and effectiveness. Two Tech Reports that
    discuss good evaluation methods are:

        John Ellis: The Course Evaluation System (TR 87-19)

       William Montague: The Instructional Quality Inventory (TR 83-31).

       (Their email addresses are <lastname>@nprdc.navy.mil)


   I hope these references are helpful.
