Elevate Team: Making Time for Discussion: Ways of Flipping Your Classroom: Elevate Team
Presenter: Andy Ramsden (Elevate Team)
A recent teaching innovation in Higher Education has been around the flipped classroom. This concept is often used as a means by which lecturers can more effectively use the face to face teaching time.
The idea is to make time within face to face teaching to focus on developing the higher order skills of analysis and synthesis, as opposed to using this time to deliver the lower order skills of knowledge and information. From the Lecturer’s perspective, this session aims to answer the following questions, what does the flipped classroom offer teaching? what learning design and technologies are appropriate? and in practical terms how can this be done? The presenter will draw upon his experience of deploying flipped classroom based tasks on a course taught at UCS, to allow the deployment of a peer assessment activity.
