Center for Teaching Excellence
Thomas Cooper Library, Room L511
This session is being delivered in a face-to-face format. You'll need to come to the offices of the Center for Teaching Excellence to attend. There is not a virtual option available to attend this presentation.
Many flipped classroom implementations focus on moving content out of class meeting time, but either continue to lecture in class or apply general active learning techniques instead of maximizing the ability to provide guided learning during class meetings. One way to maximize student engagement is through a project-based approach to teaching. This assessment method is a meaning-based, top-down approach that easily allows students to focus on larger thematic issues instead of just surface level facts and figures.
In this session, we will introduce teaching strategies for both flipped classroom and project-based approaches. We will discuss the benefits of their intersection and examples of how this can be implemented. You will have the opportunity to reflect on your own assessments and course design to consider how you could utilize these approaches.
In order for attendees to personally track their current registrations and attendance at certificate of completion workshops and events, the Center for Teaching Excellence requires that all registrants create an account in our registration system and login to register for all workshops.
If you have an existing training account with the Division of Human Resources, Office of Organizational and Professional Development, you do not need to create an account. You can login using your HR training username and password. By logging in to register for CTE events, your complete training record for both CTE and HR trainings will be available with a single account and login. Check Training Record.
