A maggid shiur ( Hebrew: מגיד שיעור, romanized: maggiḏ shiʿur, lit. 'teller of a shiur or Torah lecture') [1] is the rabbi that lectures in a yeshiva or kollel. He usually lectures in one place, on a given topic, generally on advanced and in-depth Talmudic studies, on a fixed schedule.
The stature of a maggid shiur is a much sought-after position by the typical yeshiva student. The position is usually obtained by those well versed in the Talmud.
Elazar Shach told a future maggid shiur that the key to successful lectures is "knowing how to ask the initial questions that comprise the shiur." [2]

While the chavrusa (study partner) system requires more commitment and participant preparation, [3] a maggid shiur generally has more experience, and ideally "points out details" that both partners "never knew."
To succeed, both need "well defined goals." [4]
