Flipped Learning in HE Dr Richard Walker E-Learning Development Team University of York, UK Flipped Learning Seminar Institute for Effective Education 8 th October 2015 Whats novel about flipped learning? The redesign of traditional teaching moving content delivery outside of class time The inversion of classroom time: from content transfer to discussion & problem-solving activities (Lage, Platt & Treglia, 2000) Whats novel about flipped learning through lecture recording / video? A disruptive technology challenging existing pedagogic models for campus-based HE teaching? (Hutchings & Quinney, 2015) . but not new (e.g. Mazur, 2006) and well established in distance learning delivery.. Module using entertainment-education pedagogy Each character has a series of episodes over a 3 week period Course activities & interactions based on character stories Ros Brownlow (2013) Tales from the Cardioverse, Higher York e-Learning Network Conference, 4 th June 2013. Why are we flipping learning through lecture capture / video technology? Rebranding the use of video to create a new culture of active learning (lecture capture 2.0) increasing student engagement and collaboration: From a sit back to sit forward culture REC.all project (Young, 2013) improving critical thinking / creative problem solving / higher order thinking (Aronson, Arfstrom & Tam, 2013) Pedagogic Modes for Lecture Recording Practical benefits to flipping learning Large cohorts: compensating for limited teaching space Solution to timetabling challenges: e.g PGDip Nursing intake: combining students from PGDip and BSc programmes placement and progression makes sharing lecture time impractical Lecture capture adoption across the UK HE sector Institutional adoption of lecture capture tools Institutional adoption (by mission group) No.Total Pre- 92 Post- 92 CollEngWalScoNI 5963%74%59%25%60%80%86%100% No.TotalGuildHEAllianceMillion+Russell 5963%50% 78% Source: 2014 UCISA TEL Survey Proportion of courses using audio / video lecture recordings No.TotalPre-92Post-92CollEngWalScoNI 100%22%5%0% 3%0% 75% - 99%11%3%0% 1%0% 50% - 74%45%8%3%0%5%0% 25% - 49%67%10%5%0%5%40%0% 5% - 24%4048%38%54%71%45%60%80%0% 1% - 4%1923%25%22%14%23%0%20%100% 0%34%0%5%14%4%0% Dont know911%13%11%0%12%0% Source: 2014 UCISA TEL Survey How is flipped learning being used at York?

Micro lectures -introducing complex ideas: Jasper Shotts (Lincoln) micro lectures (10 mins) on Health & Social Care: stimulus for questions and feedback to instructor on what student s do / dont understand (feedback loop) opportunity for students to test their understanding and engage in discussion activitiesdevelopment/flipped/ Consequences for learning: some issues to consider Dearth of evidence on impact- most literature from case-studies & small-scale pilots, usually in US Do students engage in deeper learning? (Mellefont & Fei, 2014) Is flipped learning suitable for all levels / styles of learning? How should we respond to students who wont or cant engage? (Loch & Borland, 2014) Cultural adjustments (where are the answers?) & cognitive leap from pre-class to in-class activities (applying theory) Ethical challenges in leaving students behind Integrity of learning at risk staged / linear model (linking ideas) vs. pick and mix. Consequences for teaching and staff development Upskilling of lecturers: design of learning and teaching to smaller groups of students Pedagogic craft to embed video recordings effectively in course design and delivery as stimuli for pre- and in-class learning Transition to active learning pedagogical design Consequences for the physical estate What is the role of the large lecture theatre in the future as a venue for effective learning? Are sufficient numbers of smaller rooms and collaborative spaces available to support flipped learning design? Questions?
