Flipped Learning
Benefits of Flipping the Classroom
SPU faculty report the following advantages to flipping their classroom:
- Students are able to watch recordings when they are ready to learn
- Students can pause lectures and research related content
- Some students feel that they can take better notes by listening to class lectures again
- Class time is better spent when students come prepared to discuss the content
- Students can delve deeper into the learning process
Things to Consider when Integrating Flipped Learning
Try thinking about your course materials and what are the crucial in-class activities that can only be completed when you're together vs what can students accomplish on their own ahead of time. Often, this pedagogy incorporates short pre-recorded lectures and can lead to the incorporation of Active Learning activities in the classroom too.
- Creating short lecture videos ahead of time
- Pre-class quizzes on Canvas can also be used to ensure students have watched the required materials before coming to class
