Overall Observations

Challenges Student Educational Culture Time and Effort Institutional Hurdles

Student Educational Culture  Not used to accountability in class  Resistance to the unexpected and comfortable  Preparedness – must view podcasts!  Teaching = Content Delivery

Student Educational Culture “A disadvantage maybe that I feel like....? not learning everything I should be because the teacher isn’t actually teaching me.”

Student Educational Culture “A disadvantage maybe that I feel like....? not learning everything I should be because the teacher isn’t actually teaching me.”

Time and Effort  Additional time to create podcasts  First 10 minute podcast took 2 hours to create  Got better from there – was down to ½ hour  Time to upload and distribute podcast  Anywhere from 20 minutes to 2 hours per podcast  Support Materials?  Thinking of a new activity at times was hard  Felt like “gimmicks”

Institutional Hurdles Bureaucracy Not set up to meet your technological needs Don’t understand what you are doing Teaching Excellence Centres Have heard about the flipped classroom Don’t understand what your are doing Don’t understand the technology Webspace/IT What do you mean you just want space? Resources (non technical) Love the idea of “student” engagement Don’t understand resource demands needed Can’t think outside of “sage on stage” model

Institutional Hurdles

What I Liked Student Interaction Work on STUDENT Problems not MATERIAL Problems “Doing” Something – Ability to Work Long Term Projects and Applied “Business” Approach

Final Thoughts is important to achieve a successful educational outcome..
