To Flex Your Learning or Not? Choices on this Evolving Spectrum and Some Implications for Educators
Paul Cubbon
Date & Time: Wednesday, October 29, 3pm – 3:50pm
Location: Lillooet Room, 3rd Floor, Irving K. Barber Learning Centre
Description:
Flexible learning is all the rage. It’s got to be good hasn’t it? Flexibility sounds so desirable for busy students. But under the “flexible learning umbrella” there exists a spectrum of possibilities, from MOOCs to flipped classrooms, from online through blended to face-to-face, and from synchronous to asynchronous, self-paced and automated to scheduled and facilitated. This talk will focus on some of the work undertaken around flipped classroom enablement, and curating resources in a way that allows for multiple uses. Examples are drawn from the Flexible Learning supported project led by the Sauder School of Business, partnering with Entrepreneurship@ubc, CTLT and UBC Librarians.
