11. Guidelines for Video Selection - 2
Keep the length of video short (not more than10 minutes). This is because it has been found that shorter videos are more engaging[1].
If the topic is too big for a single 10 min video, split the topic into multiple videos and give instructions to pause. (E.g. Pause at 4:30 sec)
Select videos that have both text and audio narration. This will help in assimilation of content easier.[2]

14. Guideline for designing Assessments
It is recommended to provide few assessment with each video resource
The assessment has to be at lower cognitive levels (Recall – Apply), aligned to the learning objectives
It is recommended that you evaluate these assessments before the in-class to understand the level of students.

18. IN-CLASS SEGMENT
This section helps you design the in-class segment of Flipped Classroom Strategy
IDP in Educational Technology, IIT Bombay

19. About In-Class Segment
Make sure that In-Class segment contain activities for effective learning
In active learning student goes beyond listening, copying of notes, execution of prescribed procedures
Students are required to talk, write, reflect and express their thinking
Engage students in higher-order thinking (Analyze-Evaluate- Create)
Ensure that students get feedback on their work, either from peers or you.
Ensure to provide summary that connects Out-of-Class and In-Class activities

24. In-class Activity Design -2
Peer Instruction Strategy – What Teacher Does
Pose the two PI questions at the start of the class and provide summary of basic identities and expression simplification:
Q1: What will happen to the output if one of the input to the logical AND gate is 1
Output is always 1
Output is always 0
Output will be same as second input
Output will be complement of second input. 
Q2: Which of the Boolean expressions correctly represent a 3-input OR (A+B+C)?
(A.B)’. C’
A’. B’. C’
(A.B.C)’
(A’. B’. C’)’
EXAMPLE

25. In-class Activity Design -2
Peer Instruction Strategy – What Student Does
For each question they will first vote individually
Then they will discuss with peers and come to consensus
Listen to instructors explanation
EXAMPLE

26. In-class Activity Design -2
TPS Strategy – What Instructor does
First provide a premise:
Four sensor circuits S1, S2, S3 and S4, located at four different directions of an agricultural land, are used to communicate weather information about excess Humidity and temperature to a central station located at a distant agricultural university. The circuits give a high output if the value of temperature and humidity exceeds prescribed limit in a 4 second cycle – i.e. first S1, then S3, then S2 and finally S4. The central station needs to know which area gave high output.
Assuming that each information is passed as digital signals through one digital circuit kept in the farm.. S1 T1 H1 S2 T2 H2 S3 T3 H3 S4 T4 H4
EXAMPLE

27. In-class Activity Design -2
TPS Strategy – What Instructor does
Think (~2 minutes)
Instruction: Assuming that Temperature and Humidity of a station are two Boolean variables Tn and Hn (where n is the station number) as given in the fig,
Think individually and identify the scenario (boolean expression) in which a high output will occur from an area.
EXAMPLE
IDP in Educational Technology, IIT Bombay

28. In-class Activity Design -2
TPS Strategy – What Instructor does
Pair (~5 minutes)
Instruction: Now pair up and compare your answers. Agree on one final answer.
While students are pairing and discussing, instructor goes to 2~3 sections to see what they are doing.
Now assuming that two variables A and B, as shown in table, are used to select sensor output based on time, develop a Boolean expression to combine time selection and output selection.
i.e. A,B and output (T+H)
EXAMPLE
IDP in Educational Technology, IIT Bombay

29. In-class Activity Design -2
TPS Strategy – What Instructor does
Share (~8 minutes)
Instructor asks a group to share their answer with class and see whether there are different answers. After sharing is done, instructor gives feedback on the correct solution and how minimizations using Boolean expressions play a major role in real life applications, like Multiplexer.
In the next iteration of TPS, in the Think Phase we ask students to convert the Boolean expression in the form of NAND only logic using DeMorgan’s Theorem and identities.
In the pair phase we ask students to compare the answers
In the share phase again the different answers are sought.
EXAMPLE
IDP in Educational Technology, IIT Bombay

30. In-class Activity Design -2
Justify why the above is an active learning strategy
In both the above strategies, students are required to go beyond mere listening and execution of prescribed steps. They are required to think deeply about the content they were familiarized in out-of-class and do higher order thinking.
There is also feedback provided (either through peer discussion or instructor summary)
