Student Engagement & Assessment in Large Classes
“Flipping your classroom – Why, how and what can happen”
Dr. Bates will present a practice-based case study of curriculum redesign implemented in a large-enrollment introductory Physics course taught at the University of Edinburgh. The course was inverted, or “flipped”, in the sense that content and material was delivered to students outside class lectures using various strategies including technology, so that lecture time could be utilized as problem-solving sessions. Dr. Bates will present details of student engagement, comment on student perceptions of the instructional format, and present data that presents evidence for high quality student learning.
