Review

If you ever thought a lecture could never lead to learning, then Interactive Lectures will open your eyes. With easy-to-follow steps, Thiagi helps you discover that there is life beyond the usual death by lecture. You'll use this guide again and again. I know I will. --Mel Silberman, Author, 101 Ways to Make Training Active

Thiagi, the master of interactive teaching-learning has made magic...again! With amazing dexterity, he has pulled a multitute of exciting learning activities out of a very few pages and created a new life for otherwise dull lectures. I love his handouts. They alone are worth far more than the cost of this volume. Bravo, maestro...and thanks for tools that liven up our lectures, our learning, and our lives. --Harold D. Stolovitch, Co-Author, Telling Ain't Training and Training Ain't Performance

Don't just read this book--use it. Use it when you speak in front of audiences of thousands, hundreds, or just two. Use it in staff meetings. Use it when you design e-learning courses. Use it when writing proposals. No matter how you use it, this book will help you double your speaker evaluations and let you uncover the very essence of interactivity. --Clark Aldrich, Co-Founder of SimuLearn
