Teaching in a “Flipped Classroom” – A Four Part Series. (Faculty Only)
The “flipped classroom” has garnered considerable attention in the academy over the past year. This approach to teaching involves the use of podcasting and other strategies to shift students’ initial exposure to content from the lecture hall to outside of the classroom. In the process, significant portions of class time are freed up for active learning and student engagement. In this workshop series faculty participants will explore teaching in a flipped classroom and consider how to use this approach in their own teaching. A total of four sessions will take place. In the first session, a U-M faculty panel will discuss a variety ways they have successfully flipped their classrooms, both with and without technology. In session two, faculty will experience a flipped classroom from the perspective of students and then reflect on strategies for design and implementation. The third session will highlight general principles for designing a flipped lesson, including an introduction to relevant instructional technologies. In the final session, faculty will receive short consultations on their plans from CRLT instructional consultants and peers. Dinner or lunch will be provided at each session, please indicate in the comments section if you have any dietary restrictions.
