If you are entering the training world, it's not a bad idea to offer your students the opportunity to do some personal research into other sectors where "Human Factors" have played a prominent role in accidents / incidents.
Get them to present their findings and then move on to correlating the overlapping areas that induced the errors. This way, they get a much broader understanding of the significance of "Human Factors" rather than concentrating on purely aviation related issues.
A key point here however is to stress to your students, that, the intent of getting them to do the research themselves is not to abrogate your responsibility as a trainer, it's to enable them to become personally involved in the learning process with no detriment to themselves.
Have a look, if you don't already practice these, at Evidence Based Training, Virtual Learning and Facilitation techniques in respect of student development.
The only reason a lecture becomes boring is when the trainer makes it boring, usually with minimal class interaction and involvement plus the use of "Death by Powerpoint" as the sole means (PP has a use as part of integrated learning I hasten to add ) of presenting the subject.
Feel free to PM me if you would be interested in learning more about my suggestions.
