How much content fits into a given time slot for a lecture? Or to put it differently: how much time does a big idea need to be taught well? How can a course or degree coordinator design a schedule that resonates with that?

Today, we have a dialogue with dr. Alonso Ayala, following our lecture observations of his iconic lecture on ‘Affordability’ of housing, the 5 A's model, both at IHS/Erasmus University and the Technical University Delft, to different audiences. What sparked with us, is particularly, how he, as a seasoned teacher, organically adjusts the delivery to the audience in real time, by going slower (or faster) with teaching a big idea, depending on their prior knowledge.

What does that mean for the role of the course coordinator in assigning learning objectives to a (guest)lecturer? What part of a knowledge domain fits into a course or degree? In between lines, we talk about the dialogue between seasoned teachers and educational advisors. Have a listen.
