What is Flipped Teaching?

Flipped teaching is the process of moving lecture content from face-to-face class time to before class by assigning it as homework. This allows for more interactive and student-centred types of learning to take place during the scheduled class time. Flipped teaching often involves, but is not limited to, students viewing lecture videos as homework.

Schedule (Tentative):

The Sessions

The sessions consist of discussion and brainstorming of different ways to successfully implement the flipped classroom. Participants will create a brief lecture video. There will also be an exploration of ways to flip your classroom without creating videos for every topic.

One session will focus on making effective use of in-class time to facilitate higher-order thinking and deeper learning. The workshop comes to a close with participants creating a lesson plan for a flipped class. Participants will also share what they are working on with each other to gain valuable feedback.

Requirements

• Participants will need to complete online pre-workshop activities.
• Ongoing meetings between the instructors and the participants will be arranged at a later date to continue to assist and to check-in on how these courses are proceeding and answer participants questions that have come up since the workshop.
