lecture-based

Spoken instruction format

Lecture-based describes educational formats centered on an instructor delivering information to a passive audience.

A lecture-based course or class relies primarily on one-way presentation rather than discussion, activities, or hands-on learning.

The term often carries slight criticism, implying students listen more than participate: The program moved away from lecture-based teaching toward interactive workshops.
