Introduction to the Flipped Classroom

Friday, March 3, 2023 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm EST (GMT -05:00)

Location: In-person- PAS 1241

Facilitator: Victoria Feth (Centre for Teaching Excellence) and Mary Power (Centre for Teaching Excellence)

Description

The flipped classroom is a type of blended course where the first encounter with course content and concepts occurs outside the classroom (e.g., via recorded lectures, guided readings, etc.) and the in-person time is used to practice and deepen learning via active learning strategies (e.g., discussions, problem solving, etc.). This workshop will present examples of flipped courses from Waterloo instructors and identify how flipping a classroom, in part or in whole, can enhance a blended course design that increases students' engagement and learning. Participants will design a flipped class element and have an opportunity to receive feedback from facilitators and colleagues.

Note: This workshop will include approximately 15 minutes of pre work, which registrants will receive one week prior to the workshop.
