#flipclass

The flipped classroom is one in which students are applying what they have learned during class, rather than on their own, outside of class.

WHY FLIP?

Where in the learning cycle do students most benefit from face-to-face instruction?

IV. DISCUSSION

#flipclass

>Reviewing a LibGuide before class was more effective

than viewing video tutorials before class. But why?

LIBGUIDE FTW!

• Time between viewing screencasts and attending instruction sessions

• A LibGuide can be used (e.g., it has links and instructions), whereas screencasts can only be viewed (and thus require note taking or memorization)

• Students did not view the screencasts

What do you think?

#flipclass

THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM: BENEFITS

• Redefines class time as a student-centered environment

• Opportunity to engage in formative assessment

• Increases student engagement

• Makes better use of librarians’ expertise

#flipclass

THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM: CHALLENGES

• Requires collaboration with faculty

• More labor intensive than the traditional lecture model

• Digital divide issues

TAKEAWAYS

• Flipped instruction is a pedagogical model in which the traditional lecture and homework elements of a class are reversed.

• Flipping involves more than simply requiring students to watch pre-recorded lectures before class. The flipped classroom is one in which students are applying what they have learned during class, rather than on their own, outside of class.

• Flipping can involve a wide variety of activities during both the outside-of-class lecture and the in-class active learning activities.
