Design principles for flipped classes
Flipped learning is an arrangement where students complete independent study tasks before a taught session. This allows class time to be used for discussion, problem-solving, and other active learning activities led by the teacher. Both the independent and classroom portions can utilize technology like online videos and collaborative tools. Effective flipped class design includes allowing students to learn material before class, assessing understanding at the start of class, teaching responsively based on student needs, making pre-class work essential to in-class activities, and using class time for collaborative work and application of concepts.
Digital media in the classroom
This document discusses best practices for using video in the classroom. It notes that video should be used as a supplement to instruction rather than as the full lesson. Key points include that video segments should be short, directly connected to learning objectives, and used to introduce, reinforce or expand on concepts from the lesson. The document provides guidance on planning video use by deciding how it will support the lesson, knowing the content, and preparing discussion questions. It also recommends actively engaging with students during and after video viewing through note taking, discussion and assessment.
