Flipping the Classroom and Lecture Capture Active Learning in Organic Chemistry cCWCS Workshop Charlotte, NC Vincent Maloney

Introduction More experience with CAT’s and clickers Less experience with flipping the class and lecture capture Others here who have flipped their classroom – Robert Rossi – Jessica Fautch

Outline Brief description Workshop Flip Part 1 Why Flip? – Straw man: traditional lecture – Learning outcomes My “small” flip My “big” flip Lecture capture technology Workshop Flip Part 2 Last comments and acknowledgements

Flipping the Classroom Have you used used CAT’s, JiTT, and/or peer to peer problem solving? 1.Yes 2.No

Flipping the Classroom Have used used CAT’s, JiTT, and/or peer to peer problem solving? a.Yes b. No If yes, then you have flipped the classroom to some extent. So what’s different?

Workshop Flip Part 1 Instead of “lecture” about website – Assignment: view organicERs website Assessment before “class”: none today Peer group problem solving – discussion of questions

organicERs.org Give at least 2 resources at organicers.org that you would like to see.

organicERs.org Suggest at least 1 contribution you could give to website or describe/demonstrate one that you have already submitted.

Why Do It This Way? Traditional Lecture: Straw Man – Students read text before lecture (maybe) – Lecture given in traditional manner – After class, students work on assignments May work together May ask instructor questions – Problems in understanding not recognized until homework turned in or quiz/exam

Bloom’s Taxonomy Knowledge Comprehension Application Analysis Synthesis Evaluation How many of these outcomes do you think traditional lecture addresses?

Bloom’s Taxonomy How many of these outcomes do you think traditional lecture addresses? a.0 b. 1 c. 2 d. 4 e. 6 According to L. Nilson, Teaching at Its Best p. 107 Knowledge Transfer CAT’s, JiTT, Peer to peer problem solving, POGIL address more learning outcomes, all remaining

The Flip Given benefits of other techniques Move lecture outside of face to face classroom – Online recorded lectures Use other techniques entirely during classroom

The “Small” Flip Start Small – Lee Gibson, A Peer-Learning Approach to Conceptual Understanding with iclicker in the Mathematics Classroom, Classroom Response Systems: Innovations and Best Practices, Louisville, Kentucky, November 15 th, 2008 Record nomenclature lectures (Screencorder) In students start with short quiz Work on more complex nomenclature problems

The “Big” Flip Funded CELT proposal for summer 2013 – Record lectures < 20 min. Lecture length based on topic Chunking – Students watch lectures before class – Students complete online assignment/quiz using Respondus – Face to Face Class Ask questions of increasing complexity – End of Week: Muddiest point CAT

The Flip At the website already – Robert D. Rossi, Flipping the Sophomore Organic Chemistry Classroom – Jessica Fautch, Organic Chemistry Upside Down: The Flipped Classroom

Lecture Capture Simultaneously records – Voice of speaker – Video of speaker – Actions on a computer screen Powerpoint presentation Internet browsing Jmol

Lecture Capture Record in class or prior to class Instructor – Can edit – Can import other video – Can track student usage Student view online – Students can watch multiple times – Can select portion to watch easily – Can add notes and comments

Lecture Capture In class use – Students overall positive – Anecdotally, student attendance did decrease over time Course flip use – Lectures pre-recorded followed by assignment – No recording of face to face class

Lecture Capture Within 4 year period Screencorder Adobe Presenter Tegrity Live Scribe and Educreations both can be used Camtasia, ScreenFlow
