What is the Best Use of Class Time? Exploring the Issues of the Flipped Classroom

ORAL

Abstract

To me, class time is precious. It is that time when students have nearly unlimited access to me as a resource. In this workshop we'll discuss what we ask students to do in- and out-of-class. We'll explore ways to take some traditional in-class things (like lecture, question formation, online demos) and place them outside of class without losing their value, while making room for homework, brainstorming, and making connections inside of class. There's a lot of buzz online these days about the ``flipped classroom'' and we'll try to make sense of as much as we can.
