Workshop Objectives • Define “flipping the classroom.” • Identify steps in the process of “flipping.” • Choose appropriate assessments to ensure that students complete on-line learning activities. • Discuss the HU-TEACH evaluation process. Note: All files associated with this workshop are available on-line https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B5o4g-QTRc0IWHBXckdqQUQ2QXc&usp=sharing

HU-TEACH Objectives • Complete “Course Redesign Worksheet”. (See handout) • Build Blackboard course site. • Post “Course Redesign Worksheet” in Blackboard course site. • Note: June 15, 2014 – Participants’ progress is reviewed (See handout)

Flipping v. Hybrid v. Online • Flipping = Same number of face-to-face class meeting • Hybrid = Less number of face-to-face class meetings • Online = No face-to-face class meetings

Why do it at all • Allows instructors to accommodate students’ learning style • In class activities: laboratory experiments, field work, case-based assignments, role play, and problem-solving • What are some other reasons

CETLA FAQs, Details, and Examples • http://www.cetla.howard.edu/teaching_strategies/flip ping_the_classroom.html#examples

Challenges • Will students study before class • Assessing the quality of classroom and on line participation • New to students • What are some other challenges
