Interactive Breakout Session VID46
A Flipped Approach to Higher Education
Before joining this learning café, please watch a short introductory video about flipped learning, and about this session: https://youtu.be/x7RWDG1XjHY
This will be a collaborative and interactive session that aims to investigate how flipped learning practitioners can address expectations from societies, markets, and institutions by examining how learners interact both inside and outside the classroom.
It looks at how creativity is critical to making successful videos and encourages you to engage in the same kind of critical, higher-level thinking, and autonomous learning that is so important to flipped classrooms.
