Abstract
The attention span of an adult learner is short. Some suggest that most adults can only stay focused for 10-15 minutes at a time. Combine this with the idea that we only retain 20% of what we hear, and what you have as an instructor–if you are only lecturing to your class–is a room full of blank stares within 10-15 minutes after you begin.
