Flipped Learning in Large Chemistry Classes

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Flipped Learning in Large Chemistry Classes
 
Invited Speaker: Dr. Carrie Shepler
 

Interested in flipping your class and transforming it into a dynamic, interactive, and engaging learning environment?  Wondering how to do this well?

Or maybe your "flip" is off to a good start -- how do you take it to the next level?
 
No matter what stage you are in with flipped classrooms, come learn something useful (an inspiring) during this Teaching with Technology Spotlight session. Dr. Carrie Shepler, the director of first-year chemistry in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, will share her successful experience and best practices of flipping her large chemistry classes by using a “semi-flipped” classroom model:

  • She delivers some content in class in a fairly traditional lecture that incorporates clicker question polling for just-in-time teaching and engaging students.
  • She assigns videos for students to watch outside of class for other material in order to free up class time for higher-level activities that involve applications of concepts, critical thinking, and problem-solving.

Join us in this session to find out about how flipped classrooms can be planned, designed, and implemented to create a positive, enjoyable, and productive environment for both instructors and students. Come with questions and participate in a discussion on how you might implement these ideas in your own class.

Lunch will be provided and please register.
