  • Flipped Classroom Vodcast - Dr Beth Loveys & A/Prof Peter Strelan

    Flipped Classroom and its role in online education

    In this edition of the AEA Member Vodcast, Executive Committee members Dr Beth Loveys and Associate Professor Peter Strelan discuss the Flipped Classroom and how using this teaching approach has enhanced the learning experience for their students.

    The 'flipped classroom' is the term commonly defined as a pedagogical model in which traditional lecture and ‘homework’ elements are reversed (Hamden et al, 2013; Lage et al, 2000).

    Students engage with interactive content focusing on key concepts prior toÌýclass,Ìýallowing face-to-face time for collaborative activities that clarify concepts andÌýcontextualiseÌýknowledge through application, analysis, planning andÌýproblem solvingÌý(Anderson et al., 2001; Karanicolas & Snelling, 2010; Snelling et al, 2009).

    The overarching aim of flipped learning is to engage students through responsive learning environments, designed to prepare and motivate them to confidently undertake assessment tasks through interactivity and feedback loops strategically embedded at all stages of this pedagogical approach.
