What is flipping your course?
7
The Flipped Classroom is NOT

• a synonym for online videos
• about replacing teachers with videos
• an online course
• students working in the class without structure
• students working in isolation

Bergman, Overmyer, and Wilie (2011)
8
The Flipped Classroom IS

• a method to increase interaction with students
• a classroom where the teacher is not the sage on
  the stage but the guide on the side
• a blending of direct instruction and
  constructivist learning
• a classroom where students who are sometimes
  absent dont get left behind
• a class where content is archived
• a class where students are engaged in their
  learning

Bergman, Overmyer, and Wilie (2011)

Backward course design (why bother?)
15
Backward Design Learning Outcomes ? Assessment
? Learning Activities

• Natural inclination is to figure out how to
  teach the course after learning objectives are
  developed
• Hence the label backward design for placing
  assessment out of order

and assessment are aligned with intended LOs
