This article feels like it ends too quickly. I guess that's a natural response for the first of three parts, but at only 399 words (I counted) it is definitely too short to be satisfying. Anyhow, I'm still referencing it because it's an interesting idea to say that the genre is the content. Here's the little Clark Aldrich gives us to expand on this idea: "no matter the topic, all lectures teach variations on the same skills - listening, note taking, asking questions, and then using that 'learning to know' information to write papers and complete tests." I'm not sure that's exactly the limit on learning that happens through lectures - often, for example, when I give a talk I'm trying to shift the listener's perspective, so they don't learn new things so much as they see other things in a new way. But still - the idea that what you're learning is the process afforded by the lecture, and not the specific content, is a good one.
