Flipped Classroom
Bio Medical Science A • building a sense of community and
belonging by blending on and off campus student learning experiences;
• the previous year’s topic and tute recordings also made available for review.
• Adobe Connect tutorials have replaced residential components where appropriate.

Rational for using Virtual Classroom
• Many students were not attending tutorials• Those who did attend were mainly international
students (for many this was their first semester at UQ)• The VC offered flexibility in terms of location only as
the classes were synchronous• Off campus tutorials could be attractive to “digitally
connected” student as well as those who have transportation issues
Graduate Certificate: Higher Ed
…and
• Domestic students may have been dissatisfied with the learning environment where they had become the unintended under represented group
• I was also aware that the level of interactions between the tutor and students and between students was low
• The VC environment could encourage interactions in different ways
Graduate Certificate: Higher Ed
VC used for tutorials and workshops• VC was not introduced until Week 7 and the number of
students who participated was low• I then announced I would run workshops in the VC and
that picked up a few more students.
Graduate Certificate: Higher Ed
What did I find?
• Writing on the white board: a skill to be mastered• managing the share space also requires some practice• Interestingly students preferred to interact with me in
text in the chat pod and over time it was great to see students interacting with each other
• most were reluctant to use the video camera
Graduate Certificate: Higher Ed
How successful was the intervention and would I use Adobe Connect again?
• Participation was low• Students (who were attending face to face classes)
said they were expecting on-line classes• It appears that students take some time to make a
change• The students who did attend the VC said they were
happy with the experience
Graduate Certificate: Higher Ed
Would I do it again?
• Definitely!• In the short term I think the VC would be especially
useful for workshops and student consultations• In the longer term I see students choosing a mix of on
campus and on-line courses.• I have attached the write up (including evaluation) of
my intervention.• I am happy to talk to others about my experience and
also give you more feedback if you need it.
