Engaging Learners with Flipped Classroom

Abstract:

Colleagues from different disciplines of two faculties will be involved in this project. The pedagogy employed is called “flipped classroom” which emphasizes on flipping the directed instructions to online lectures but having group activities in classes. This project is aligned with the Institute’s call for “one digital class for one course” and it also aims to foster learners’ generic skills such as information technology, self-management and self-study. During a directed study week, learners will learn from different online materials prepared by their educators according to their online pre-test results. The online lecture materials may consist of a wide variety of digital formats such as videos, animations and pictures. Learners would attempt an online post-test after learning at their own pace and time. Thus, both learners and educators would be informed of participants’ learning outcomes conveniently and quickly. To consolidate learners’ knowledge, they would also apply their recent acquired knowledge to solve authentic problems in groups when they meet in class where the educator could provide more support to those learners who did not do well in the post-test. The series of activities proposed not only help learners to become more engaged in the learning process but also the individual differences could be better taken care of.

The participating educators were interviewed by the SRA. They gave some comments on how to transfer the flipped classroom experiences to other others.NG, Mee Wah Eugenia:From this flipped classroom experience gives me the assurance that students took their responsibilities for learning as long as they understood the requirements and marks would be given to them for each task. I would apply this strategy to topics that students might have diverse background so that they don't have to learn at the same pace and time.NG, Mei Lee:I 'll continue to do flipped classroom, but I needs technical support. First, I will identify which part of the course would be more informative. And then I will transform it to self-learning materials. I think we can follow the same steps to transfer the flipped classroom to other courses.YANG, Chi Cheung Ruby:Time i svery important because it needs to pre-prepare video and integrate all kinds of learning resources and pre- & post-test in a website. I think it takes quite a bit of time. I think not all the topics are suitable to flipped classroom. I will choose one or two topisc to do it.
