blended/hybrid, ONline, and flipped courses
Because of the pandemic, many courses have been moved to online, hybrid/blended or hysync modalities. Due to the nature of this disruption, we highly encourage asynchronous teaching, even if your modality includes synchronous options. Those with synchronous options in your modality, will find their synchronous sessions to be more productive if they use the flipped classroom model.
The key feature of the flipped class is the different use of in-class and out-of-class time.
- Out of class: watch videos, read articles, view recorded lectures, and generally get prepped on the information necessary for the in-class activities.
- In-Class: engage students in activities, hands-on project, problem-based learning, and demonstrations to use the content they learned out of class.
