One of the main contributors to student boredom is the use of PowerPoint. Photograph: Corbis I study boredom in a range of professions - from heavy goods vehicle drivers to teachers - and have found that one group for whom boredom appears to be a familiar bedfellow is the student. Our newly published study of student boredom (conducted with my co-researcher Andrew Robinson) suggests that almost 60% of students find at least half their lectures boring - with about 30% claiming to find most or all of their lectures boring. Although a range of factors may contribute to these findings, they do prompt the question of what it is about the learning experience that might be deemed "boring". The traditional lecture is still one of the most common teaching methods, since it has the advantage of being able to reach many students in one economical time slot.
