Not at all easy with our non-problem based content. But yes, the key seems to be a lot of structure for the out of class work as well as structured in class work that helps the students process/connect/learn. I'm working on the "what I did during class" post now; you're right, that's the huge challenge in this.Jen Ebbelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18213763781527781548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292226213544690351.post-10262141906750794112013-08-01T13:59:46.409-07:002013-08-01T13:59:46.409-07:00I'm glad you decided to write this addendum to...I'm glad you decided to write this addendum to your article in the Chronicle. Here at UMBC, I've had the interesting task of 'flipping' our summer Myth offerings. I agree completely with your choice of focused, frequent assignments. It certainly helps students manage the reading, and it helps them process material more readily. I also think we are all right in producing our own content for out-of-class lectures/podcasts/vodcasts, etc. While using other lecture material is quicker, it lacks the personal and vibrant interactions that are possible between instructor and instructed. I look forward to how you spent your class time, because that is where I think most of the 'flipped' discussion happens. TJ Phinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04989326421872604108noreply@blogger.com
