Notes
Did u know? Colloquy
The colloquy is the same as the panel except that while half the discussants are experts, the
other half are representatives of the audience.

Uses

1. To avoid the passivity of uninterrupted listening.
2. To keep the speaker informed of how and how much his ideas are being received.

Advantages

1. Offers a variation to the lecture.
2. Promotes a greater informality and participation.

3. Draws the speaker’s attention to particular difficulties of the audience.

Limitations

1. Questions that are posed by the speaker must be pointed, provocative and sharply focused.
Otherwise, the buzz group spends too much time getting the question in focus.
2. Questions must be handled crisply after each buzz session and the time for them limited.
Otherwise the speaker’s material may not be fully presented.

Setting

Movable chairs in rows.

Procedure

1. Input by the speaker (15 minutes)
2. Formation of buzz groups and discussion of question posed by speaker (10 minutes)
The same procedure is usually repeated, i.e., three times in a session of an hour and a half.
