Flipped Classroom 101

Course Description “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

Leonardo Da Vinci

As teachers, we always complain about not having enough class time and wish for more. A flipped classroom can be one of the answers to this wish. Hence, this course is for teachers who are looking for more class time without increasing their teaching hours. The participants will start the course by stating the advantages and disadvantages of flipping classrooms and the rationale behind choosing this option. After grasping the principles of flipping a classroom, the course aims to equip them with knowledge, skills, and strategies that would enable them to practice flipping their own classrooms.

Methodologies Of The Course 1. Workshops:
Workshops are an integral part of the course, providing participants with the opportunity to engage in active learning and collaborative problem-solving. The workshop sessions will include:
– Interactive discussions on the fundamental principles of the flipped classroom.
– Exploration of various instructional design strategies for creating flipped content.
– Hands-on experience with technology tools used in flipping classrooms.
– Group activities and case studies to apply the concepts learned.2. Presentations:
Presentations will be used to deliver key theoretical content, research findings, and best practices in a structured and informative manner. These presentations will cover topics such as:
– The history and evolution of the flipped classroom model.
– Theoretical frameworks supporting flipped learning.
– Effective assessment and feedback strategies in a flipped classroom.
– Tips for addressing common challenges and pitfalls.3. Good Practice Sharing:
Good practice sharing sessions provide a platform for participants to learn from each other’s experiences and success stories. This methodology involves:
– Peer-led discussions on the successful implementation of flipped classrooms.
– Showcasing real-world examples of flipped lessons and their impact on student learning.
– Sharing insights on overcoming obstacles and adapting to different teaching contexts.4. Hands-on Practice:
Practical application is a crucial component of this course. Participants will have opportunities for hands-on practice, including:
– Designing and creating flipped learning materials (videos, quizzes, etc.).
– Simulating flipped classroom activities and interactions.
– Receiving constructive feedback and guidance from instructors and peers.
– Troubleshooting common technical issues related to flipped content creation.5. Reflection and Feedback:
Throughout the course, reflection and feedback mechanisms will be in place to promote continuous improvement and self-assessment. This includes:
– Regular self-assessment opportunities to monitor personal growth and understanding.
– Peer evaluations and feedback on presentations and practical exercises.
– Instructor-guided reflection activities to help participants apply course content to their unique teaching contexts.
