Module 2A Description: What are others in your discipline doing?  This module will get you connected to some teaching & learning and flipping resources and start you down the path of thinking about what is already being done  related to teaching in your discipline. Look for videos and resources you can use in your own course, so that you do not have to recreate the wheel! In addition, when you begin to flip a course, it is helpful to ground your ideas and actions in the literature -- what people have already found to work and why. Don't just plan to 'plop' flipping on top of what you already do. Be strategic in your decision-making as you decide what to flip and why!

 Module 2A Objective:  At the end of this module, you will have:

  • Investigated emerging pedagogies, technologies, and resources associated with your discipline by focusing on:
      • Already created videos and resources you can reuse
      • Innovative student centered learning / active learning strategies
      • Concepts or bottlenecks that cause trouble for your students and may be prime targets for a flip redesign

Expected Time (Module 2A): about 1 hour

The activities for this Basic Component of module 2A will focus on investigating what type of educational research studies are already out there and published in your discipline, what people are already doing and what resources are already out there that you can reuse in your course.

 

1. Start by using the Teaching Journal Directory Links to an external site. created by Kennesaw State University to browse through some of the teaching & learning journals searchable by discipline. Use the search boxes on the right side of the page to select discipline and/or topic.
Didn't find anything there to check out, you will find a list of other more general journals in this DIIGO Teaching & Learning Journal group Links to an external site. to find examples of teaching & learning practice and innovations in your discipline.

To find out what are other people are doing in your discipline, search using keywords such as:

      • your discipline name or specialty

      • the types of learning activities you are considering integrating into your flipped design (ex. active learning, team based learning, animations, )

      • search terms like assessment of learning, teaching strategies, teaching practice

      • A list of flipped classroom resources and articles Links to an external site.about how people are flipping their courses.

2. Browse through some the major video resource websites and search for videos in your discipline or topic that you can use for your course. Here are some sites to get you started:

 

Now sum it up:

Find some interesting videos, articles, resources that show something interesting
about teaching practice or the  the flipped class in these resources, post them on
the 2A discussion forum to share your finds with your peers. Have questions about
what you found? Post those questions too to get discussion going.
