Stop Lecturing and Flip Your Classroom (Fall 2015)

Tuesdays from September 1 to October 20, 2015 at 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM (eight-week series)

Time is valuable. Spend it engaging with your students and having them engage in their learning with each other. The flipped classroom approach maximizes your valuable class time by having students learn the lesson/content at home (usually in the form of videos, podcasts, or other resources) where they can reflect and internalize the information prior to meeting in class. Therefore, class time can be better utilized for active learning through collaborative student activities and projects where instructors facilitate students’ learning. In this track, participants will create a flipped lesson and activity that they can implement in their classrooms.

1. Identify what a flipped classroom and flipped learning are.
2. Evaluate the need for a flipped classroom and flipped learning.
