ETS Talk 63: Flipping the Classroom

Posted by Allan Gyorke on Sep 16, 2011 in Blog, ETS Talk Podcast, Innovation, Learning Design, Podcast, video | Comments Off

Flipping the Classroom has gotten a lot of attention recently. The basic idea is that students listen to lectures and otherwise prepare for class on their own time and then use class time for problem sets, debates, discussions, collaborative writing, etc… The components of this idea aren’t new, but technologies such as podcasting, lecture capture, and recorded problem sets (e.g. Khan Academy) have made this a lot easier. This week, I sat down with Chris Millet, Hannah Inzko, and Gary Chinn to discuss what they know about Flipping the Classroom. Our discussion includes topics such as technologies that make this easier, active learning strategies, classroom design, student engagement, accessibility, and specific examples of faculty who are flipping part or all of their courses.

If you would like to learn more about this topic, you may want to read our whitepaper or you can attend the upcoming Media Common Tailgate.
