Jusqu'ici la forme à peu près générale et obligatoire de l'enseignement ou de l'instruction était l'exposé «ex cathedra» sans participation active de l'auditoire.

[...] la boutade suivant laquelle «une conférence ne profite qu'à une personne : celle qui la fait», recèle une part de vérité. Effectivement, les inconvénients de l'exposé «ex cathedra» sont importants. [...] Nous notons tout d'abord l'absence de feed-back, c'est-à-dire de communication en retour. [...] Nous avons dit qu'il y avait des fuites dans la communication, du fait de la précarité du seuil d'attention. [...] Certains estiment que l'élève ne retiendrait que 10 % de ce qu'il entend [...] 2, record 4, French, - expos%C3%A9%20%C2%ABex%20cathedra%C2%BB
