Moodle Monday - Instructional Videos online and the Filpped Classroom

Have you heard about the Flipped Classroom?   It's a classroom model which has students listening to or watching lectures online before coming to class.   Class time is spent doing collaborative work, solving problems, or getting help from peers or an instructor.  The Washington Post recently published an article about Jonathon Bergman and Aaron Sams, two pioneers of this idea.  You can read it here.  (see the full link at bottom)

If you teach an online class you will immediately see the benefits of captured lectures and other instructional resources for online students.  For those who teach face to face classes the opportunity to have more time in class to work with students might be appealing to you.

If you are interested, stop by the ITC to talk with Robin and Greg.   We can help you record a lecture, record a podcast, or create an online resource.


 In this video Katie Gimbair  discusses the benefits of creating her own instructional videos instead of sending students to view videos created by others.

This video was created this morning in our ITC Department.
