Details

The main goal of this workshop is to provide colleagues with a framework guaranteed to allow any concept from any discipline to be delivered successfully in a flipped format. First, we determine 'WHAT is Flipping?' Really! Does it mean stand on your head? Next, we explore 'WHY is Flipping so popular with Students? With Faculty? With Administration?' Then, we briefly discuss WHEN, WHERE and HOW to use the Flipping technique verse Flipping Course Design. This will include consideration of program learning goals, course learning objectives, and student evaluations.

Finally, participants will be guided through the innovative F.A.B. framework as they plan a flipped classroom experience for a concept topic of their choice. Personal teaching philosophy, teaching persona, and preferred learning environments/themes will be discussed and integrated.

Note: It is recommended participants select either their toughest concept or a gateway concept for the workshop activity. No prep work is required.
