digitally
(Educause, 2008)

LearnSmart/SmartBook
Instructor Created
Tegrity Lectures
Interactive Presentations

8. Two Best Practices
1. Break the content into
“chunks”, creating a
series of 5 to 10
minute video
segments
2. Provide an online
activity immediately
after the lecture
(see uncc.edu or
georgiasouthern.edu)

11. Numbered Heads Together
1. Students count off in
numbers
2. Instructor asks
question
3. Students “put their
heads together” so
everyone on team
knows answer
4. Instructor calls
students by number
1

12. Changing Roles of Students in Class
• From voluntary participation
to mandatory participation
– Warm calls and cold calls
• A few students participate to
all students participate
• From passive spectator to
active participant
• Students take ownership of
their learning

13. Changing Instructor Roles
• Traditional pedagogy • The Flipped Classroom
– Teacher-centered
– Passive Learner
– Faculty as the deliverer of
content
– “Sage on the stage”
– Learner-centered
– Active Learner
– Faculty as a cognitive coach
– “Guide on the side”

15. Costs and Benefits
• Costs
– Time intensive, creating
lectures, researching
exercises –
implementing in phases
can help
– Resistance from some
students who want to be
spoon-fed material –
regular reminders of
method and rationale
• Benefits
–
–
–
–
More engagement
More satisfied students
Deeper learning
Builds stronger
student/teacher
relationships

16. The Bottom Line
• In an era where
information is
(effectively) free, what
is the role of the college
instructor?
• The flipped classroom
allows instructors to
maximize their most
valuable resource –
time spent with
students
