[CCoE Notice] Reminder for Friday: An Introduction to Flipped Learning

[JR Rao]

Dear Colleagues:

A reminder about this lecture this Friday on "flipped classes".

Going forward, Dr. Bill Epling and I plan to promote and evangelize the
adoption of such "flipped classes" for our undergrad courses, so this will
be a very good opportunity to learn more. I strongly urge you to RSVP and
to attend this lecture on Friday.


Best regards,

JR

Dear Faculty,

use of technology in teaching. Emerging Trends is a partnership of the
Office of the Provost and the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics.
This month's speaker is a recognized expert in flipped classroom
methodology and peer instruction.

Flipping the Classroom 101: An Introduction to Flipped Learning
Friday, March 25, 2016
12:00 - 1:00 p.m.
Farish Hall, Kiva Room
A light lunch will be provided.

Guest Speaker: Dr. Julie Schell, University of Texas - Austin.

Instructors all over the globe are turning their students' worlds around by
flipping their classrooms. In a flipped class, teachers move information
coverage out of the lecture hall so that they can better leverage in-class
time to address student difficulties and misconceptions. In this
interactive session, Dr. Julie Schell will flip the workshop by providing
brief introductory, pre-workshop activities to participants. She will use
responses from these activities in the workshop and discuss the why, what,
and how of flipped classrooms by confronting and resolving a series of
common myths about flipped teaching.

Please RSVP here.
