Flipping the Classroom
The Digital Professor Academy instructional design team will present an introduction to the concept of Flipped Learning where lectures are delivered via short videos and classroom time can be used for active problem solving, discussion, and small group activities. These instructional strategies are effective in a traditional class, blended, and online as it actively transfers the responsibility and ownership of learning to the student.
Location: Faculty Innovations Commons in Meyer Library Room 204
Please RSVP to fctl@missouristate.edu indicating which session you plan to attend. Visit the MSU calendar for more event information.
