The Flipped Classroom

The Flipped Classroom

Today's child is bewildered when he enters the 19th century environment that still characterizes the educational establishment where information is scarce but ordered and structured by fragmented, classified patterns, subjects, and schedules. -Marshall McLuhan, 1967

How are Flipped Classrooms Different?

moves “homework” into the classroom where the instructor can serve as “guide.”

use of time inside the class is opened up for learning-based activities

provides avenues for teachers to become facilitators of learning & move away from the sage on a stage approach to teaching

extend learning time conversation outside of class through threaded discussion

delivery of rote lecture content is placed online for students to study outside of class

material out of the classroom is accomplished through online screen-casting, vodcasting and podcasting of content

How are flipped classrooms similar?

• Management Clusters
• Instructional Clusters
• Authentic Learning Clusters
• Assessment Clusters

Management Clusters

Use of multiple media sources that are posted on Web Pages/Wiki's

Student needed information is recorded and transferred to mobile learning devices. Students can link to:

• Objectives
• Student Notes
• Discussion

Students can link to external resources when assigned or as they are in need to check for understanding

Students can have online discussions through

• Synchronous (Chat)
• Asynchronous (Discussion Board)

Instructional Clusters

Synchronous instruction occurs when the instructor and student's primary interaction share in real-time. Regular classroom instruction is synchronous instruction.

Asynchronous instruction is not dependent on instructor and student interaction in real time. Asynchronous instruction allows the student to engage in learning activities anywhere at any time.

Synchronous Instruction includes building learning environments where students can

Asynchronous Instruction includes building learning environments where students can

Authentic Learning Clusters

Collaborative Learning

Sharing knowledge, collective decision making, forming learning communities

Engagement and Experiments

Testing and evaluating information through experiments and in situational examination

Not restrained by class time

Increased time in-class for application and discussion

Authentic Inquiry

Learner as practitioner, connecting theory to practice, taking responsibility for knowledge

Object and Document Analysis

Contextualization and interpretation using texts, documents, pictures, objects

Students are constantly involved in concept obtainment through video and podcast lectures. These recorded lectures are accessed online or through various mobile learning devices.

Data Gathering and Synthesis

Research skills, methodology, evaluation and reporting, quantification

Conceptual Learning

Ideas, theories, principles of information systems, bodies of knowledge

Case Studies

Evaluation of systems by observing and analyzing simulated situations or processes

Problem Solving

Deductive powers, inferential reasoning, testing assumptions, decision making

Presentations by Students

Production or performance of representative knowledge by students

Assessment

Online Quizzes in Google Forms
