Flipped advising adopts a pedagogical approach from the teaching and learning sphere that emphasizes transforming the traditional, and oftentimes prescriptive, nature of student advising to one that enhances student learning and engagement through use of instructional technologies. By establishing advising as a teaching practice, flipped advising incorporates pedagogical strategies to build an advising shell in the learning management system with measurable student learning objectives, organized modules, authentic assessments, and avenues for communication.
This session will explore how instructional designers in the UFIT Center for Instructional Technology and Training (CITT) collaborated with academic advisors to design flipped advising programs across several colleges. Participants will identify and outline strategies to implement flipped advising at their institution through reflective worksheets provided by the presenters. These reflections will help identify challenges in current advising practices and illustrate how flipping advising can address these challenges. By the end of this session, participants will be able to apply strategies from teaching and learning to advising and visualize the implementation of flipped advising by viewing examples at the University of Florida. They will depart with resources to help them implement flipped advising at their institution.
