Traditional lectures outlast the attention span of students and do not provide opportunities for students to apply concepts. The flipped classroom and blended learning methods focus on engaging students in discussion rather than lecturing. This allows for students to practice critical thinking with faculty supervision and for faculty to be able to react to how well students demonstrate understanding of the material. Learn how to utilize these innovative teaching models as tools to promote problem-solving in your classes. Presenters include faculty, administrators and students, and they will reference current literature and their own experiences incorporating these methods at their respective institutions.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the pros and cons of blended learning.
- Become knowledgeable about current research regarding active learning.
- Learn to incorporate new teaching methods in their courses.
