Uses in ClassBenefits for Students
• Differentiation
• Pause, Review or Research materials & vocabulary
• Digest materials at their own pace
• Access instruction at any time
• Regulate & direct their own learning (learning styles)
• Access expertise from multiple sources
• Print material to write notes
• Benefit from better use of in-class time
Ideas for Implementation
• Reading assignments
• Instructor Lectures
• Explanations or demonstrations of procedures
•Any “Sage on the Stage” activity
Uses in ClassWhat to Flip?
Ideas for Face-to-Face Courses
• Time for group projects/planning
• Intensive discussions/debates
• Role playing
• Group problem-solving
• Application of lessons
• Student lead lectures – Peer instruction/learning
Uses in ClassWhat do we do with the extra time?
The Actively Engaged Student
The BIG question:
•How do you want to spend time with your students?
Flipped Instruction Allows:
• You to be the “coach” or “guide”
• Students shift from “passive attendees” to “active learners”
Ideas for Application
Considerations• Why are you using the videos and apps?
• What do you hope to accomplish?
• Are they part of the learning goals/objectives for the course?
• Are videos right length and level of detail?• Too long? Break up into smaller modules.
• Help students organize information logically.
• Does video provide visual content or instruction?
• Show, don’t tell.
• If not engaged, they won’t be either.
Flipping with Apps & Videos
• Accessible any time
• Multiple content provider sources
• Differentiate for multiple learning styles
• New Millennial & Next Gen Learners - why not reach them where they are with technology?
Why use these resources?
Apps for students and teachers
• Greater student engagement
• Interactive tools and technologies
• Some apps, such as productivity tools, may be very helpful for students with time-management issues
• Information available wherever they have their devices
• Collaboration
• Communication
• Soft Skills
• Productivity

Flipped Instruction in Action
What Do Dr. Fus’ Students Think?
Dr. Fus Flipped General Chemistry Classroom
Quick Poll! Using your own device, please answer the following:
Weighing Your Options
• Students can still access instruction when school is out.
• Increased time for more engaging instruction
• Address different learning styles (i.e., print, audio/video, etc.)
• Increased motivation to attend face-to-face classes
• Formative & summative assessment
• Documented increase in student achievement
• Create a repository of lectures/materials to help increase improvement through time
• Front loaded (increase prep time & effort)
• Inability to monitor comprehension & accountability
• No Just-in-time info (can’t answer student questions right when they have them)
• May be difficult to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act
• High levels of classroom spontaneity & interaction are hard for more traditional instructors (Guide on the Side vs. Sage on the Stage).
• Temporary drop in student satisfaction (they must take on a more active role and some students have trouble at first)
Tips for Successful Engagement
Back-check students (increase accountability)
Have quick multiple choice quizzes over materials (apps & BlackBoard have self-grading options)
Ask students specific questions about materials in class
Provide tasks within the materials that are due in class
Tips for Successful Engagement
Get your feet wet first, don’t just dive in
Start with one lesson or project
Provide more than just video (tap into those learning styles)
Build your repository and experience
Collaborate! Find other interested faculty and combine efforts
