Where? Design Space @ the Digital Learning Commons
420 Calle Principal / 001 McGowan
When? Friday, May 3, 2013 9:00-10:30am
Who? MIIS Faculty (Please RSVP by Weds., May 1) – No Technology Skills Required!
The Digital Learning Commons and the Office of the Provost are pleased to invite MIIS faculty to a breakfast conversation on emerging teaching practices. Our guests will be CSUMB assistant professor of computer science, Kate Lockwood, and instructional technology consultant, Jeff McCall. Jeff and Kate have recently collaborated on the design and implementation of an “inverted classroom” approach to one of her courses.
“Flip teaching (or inverted classroom) is a form of blended learning which encompasses any use of technology to leverage the learning in a classroom, so a teacher can spend more time interacting with students instead of lecturing. This is most commonly being done using teacher-created videos that students view outside of class time. It is also known as backwards classroom, reverse instruction, flipping the classroom, and reverse teaching.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flipped_classroom
During this breakfast conversation, we’ll discuss the pedagogical opportunities and challenges presented by the “inverted” approach to course design and learn about the nature of faculty – instructional technologist collaboration.
