Pre-recorded lectures should be <10 minutes and it’s essential to carefully balance what happens online and in the classroom by considering the course objectives.
The flipped classroom approach allows students to be accountable for their learning, and teachers can be available to guide and direct the students to be successful.
LMS will implement the flipped classroom.
Pre-recorded lectures should be <10 minutes. You need to be adaptable and know that many different things can be done to make flipped learning successful.
I plan to create intentional pre-recorded content and use class time for interactive activities to push students to think critically and collaborate with their peers.
Our LMS (Canvas) can help me flip the classroom by recording lectures and adding reading material to modules that students can work through before coming to class.
Flipped classrooms are the way to go. It gets the information to the students at their own pace and then you can use their new knowledge to expand what they know in the classroom setting.
There are several LMS systems to help implement the flipped classroom.
Our software package has licenses with use only on campus. I have made short <15 minute videos with activities they can review at home, then do them in class. I guess I'm already using the flipped classroom(!)
The F2F component has so much more flexibility to meet student need with the online lectures being required homework (unless of course students don't do their homework).
I learned that flipped classroom will allow for more time during class to clarify the muddy points and apply the information in real time.
A flipped classroom is not just about the lectures which are pre-recorded. The flipped classroom is student centered, and needs to focus on the learning process. Flipping the classroom gives the instructor time that they would not have otherwise had to reinforce and help the students learn difficult concepts.
A flipped classroom leads to a more student centered approach to learning and has been shown to help with behavior issues and raise grades.
It is equally important to blend the F2F and online videos and reading material. One compliments the other. For the educator during class discussions, they’re able to affirm understanding by asking the learner to present what they’ve learned from the online assignments. By implementing activities and class quizzes the educator can answer questions, give explanations & constructive feedback about the videos, demos and reading material viewed at home. This will also let the educator know if the student has a viewed and or completed the homework.
Using active listening during short lectures will provide vital information that shows if the student may need more reinforcement in their learning the points they provide while provide key points during note taking, hands on activities and peer to peer engagement.
I have learned that the technology aspect of the flipped classroom is endless and a key component to the flipped classroom
“It’s all about learning in a student-centered environment.” Loved the theoretical influences of flipping the classroom.
The pre-recorded lessons should be chunked into 10 minutes to prevent boredom and will help them retain the information learned.
Comment on Shane Apperley's post: Because there is varied parts that may be considered in the delivery of information, the facilitator has to plan the content-approach-and quiz the knowledge acquired in the F2F classroom setting. It's very exciting to get involved and time consuming. A factor that can not be ignored.
To make it work, it’s essential to carefully balance what happens online and in the classroom by considering the course objectives. I want to apply this by focusing on how to best use class time for problem-solving, collaboration, and addressing misconceptions, while using online components for foundational learning like the short lecture videos they are able to view at home.
