Professor is the knowledge expert Traditional Colgate Classroom Professor is the knowledge expert Students receive the knowledge then prove they learn it http://www.flickr.com/photos/34053291@N05/3948369923/
Traditional Colgate Faculty Professor - gatekeeper of knowledge and decides what’s important to know Student - consumer of content Content delivered to students in class lecture Students asked to digest their learning outside of class through homework http://www.flickr.com/photos/dibytes/4647624108/
A Flipped Classroom with Team-Based Learning Changes the classroom to a place for student collaborative learning “Flips” the transfer of knowledge to the homework Changes the roles of professor and student www.flickr.com/photos/quinnanya/4792856693/
Calm your flipping fears It’s NOT: A new instructional method A replacement for faculty A video substitute for homework www.flickr.com/photos/giantsqurl/4983106796/
Flipping and TBL is about student collaboration, inquiry, and reflection. www.flickr.com/photos/giantsqurl/4930886770
How does flipping change your role? You’re no longer the “Sage on the Stage” You become a facilitator and coach. You’re free during class time to work with groups of students, guiding their collaboration. www.flickr.com/photos/10084309@N06/34505640945
Benefits for faculty: You get to see your students interacting in collaborative groups You’re free during class to assist individual students You can group students needing help and reteach content. www.flickr.com/photos/130594541@N08/16509196241
Challenges You now may need support from an instructional designer If you can't get students to complete assignments will they watch a video? How do you record the video content? www.flickr.com/photos/mariorui55/504101282

In the flipped classroom students: Shift from passively consuming knowledge to being an active learner Have more control of tempo of learning while watching videos Enjoys more peer interaction and learning from classmates. www.flickr.com/photos/148519229@N02/33283770335 http://www.flickr.com/photos/sophieffc/2523285305/
Students are ready to take control - They are very familiar with digital learning The rise of mobile devices has put students in charge of how they access, store, learn from and share. http://www.flickr.com/photos/fhashemi/97033289/
Outside class - students: Are able to pace their learning and re- watch content that is complex Can skim over content they already know. Don’t miss anything if they are absent www.flickr.com/photos/psutlt/16459437500
In class - students: Don't struggle with assignments alone in their dorm - work on them in class and get assistance from classmates and professor. Become active learners - discussing, explaining, and questioning. http://www.flickr.com/photos/toddbinger/5433967934/
Flipping is a way to improve critical thinking http://www.flickr.com/photos/stignygaard/335587882/ Class time is now for discussions, debating, project-based learning, collaboration, and group presentations
Challenges for students They need to shift from passive listening Be able to work independently May need to increase amount of time on studying outside of class Past grades might be based on their memorizing skills. www.flickr.com/photos/english106/4357228667
Your framework 1. Start by setting the stage in class with a brief demo, pose a problem (Goal - to watch the video) 2. Record your content in short videos - insert knowledge check questions periodically 3. Back in class - apply the learning in a team based activity. Have students do peer assessment at the end of class. http://www.flickr.com/photos/visualpanic/2312649191/
