The Course Outline

In case you are interested in looking at the course structure in one place, here is the list of modules and objectives

Module 1 -  What is the flipped classroom all about and why would I want to flip my course?
Module 1 will introduce you to the concept of a flipped a classroom and get you started thinking about how this pedagogical approach fits into your teaching and classroom.

 

Module 2 - How do I create an online lecture video? What tools are available?

Flipping the class puts what used to be 'in' the classroom (typically the lecture) 'out' of it (that is what this module is about), and what used to be 'out' of the class (typically examples, peer learning, homework) 'into' it. You will find out about the types of videos that can be created, and you will create videos of your own/

 

Module 3 - If I am not lecturing in the classroom, what should I be doing?
Active learning is a great strategy to include in your classroom that involves anything that engages all students in active thought in the classroom.  Talking with peers, trying out problem solving strategies, etc. are all ways that engage students more deeply in the classroom.
