"Over Easy" Flipped Experience
The Gwenna Moss Centre is pleased to provide a new Flipped Teaching immersive experience for faculty. The initial "Over Easy" Flipped Experience will be held at the GMCTE on June 10 and 11. Enrollment is limited to 5 participants. This is intended for instructors wishing to experiment with flipped teaching in the Fall 2013 Term.
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.
For more information and to apply, please visit the event page at: http://www.usask.ca/gmcte/flip_overeasy.
Deadline to apply is Wednesday, May 29.
