About this Course

Teaching Flipped gives instructors an introduction to the ins and outs of teaching with a flipped, hybrid, or online MOOC-type classroom. We will provide you with resources in the form of external videos, websites, and examples.

By the end of this course you will:

• Have knowledge of the basics of flipped/hybrid/MOOC classes, what is known and not known in the literature, and where these learning methods are heading,
• Be able to develop online (video lecture) content as well as in class active learning activities for the flipped classroom,
• Be able to organize your course for a flipped environment, and
• Possess a toolbox of strategies for designing and assessing both the students' learning experience as well as your teaching.

The Course Outline

You can expect to spend as little as 1 hour or as much as 10 hours or more per module depending on your preferred level of involvement. Each module has an A, B, and a C part, so you get to choose your level of involvement depending on which parts you decide to complete.

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 be encouraged to create a video 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.
