Tom Mennella has taught in higher education for almost 20 years. Always interested in pedagogical innovations, Tom was an early adopter of iClickers and iPads in the classroom and 10 years ago he embraced the use of Flipped Learning in the college classroom. More recently, Tom has turned his attention to generative AI and he is exploring how GAI can be best leveraged for college student learning.
Flipped learning achieves deep student learning, increased student engagement and improved student satisfaction, but it also takes a lot of time and preparation. Traditional flipped learning requires instructors to create videos and redesign their courses. In this session, I share what I call the “hybrid flip”. By adding a few key assignments and repurposing how and when lecture-based instruction is used, instructors can reap the benefits of flipped learning by investing a fraction of the time and preparation. Participants will leave this session understanding the essential elements of flipped learning and with the tools needed to adopt a hybrid flipped approach for their courses. These include “RSQ” assignments and tailoring existing lecture slide decks to address formatively assessed student confusion in real time.
