The “flipped classroom,” one of the most effective pedagogical techniques, may change everything you believe about what activities belong in the classroom and what should be completed independently.
Educators who participate in this online seminar should acquire new tools and concepts to help them:
- Apply the basic neurobiology of learning to the flipped classroom
- Improve learning with technology that flips the classroom
- Identify technological tools that can improve learning in higher education
- Design course assignments that more effectively incorporate technology
- Implement a flipped classroom that enhances student learning
