There is no requirement for a mechitza during a public shiur. A mechitza is only required during 'statutory' services, e.g. Shacharis, Mincha, Musaph, Neilah and Maariv. There is no need for a mechitza for reading the Megillah or for a wedding ceremony. In response to the mixed seating in the Conservative synagogues, the Orthodox have tended to hold even more strongly to the use of a mechitza.
