What are the advantages and disadvantages of the 10-minute talk?

Advantages:

  • If focused on current care, it is probably the most efficient way to learn
  • It is quick! Who has time for more than 10 minutes?
  • It can involve the whole team - anyone can do a 10-minute talk
  • It helps with synthesis and application of material
  • The faculty/student ratios are low...so better interaction
  • The speaker learns as well!

Disadvantages:

  • For passive learners - special techniques are required to enhance retention and the use of information
  • The presenter's style and skill
  • Distractions: requires a high level of concentration by all
  • Harder to do - there is no "fat" in the presentation
  • Time!!
