Description

This course is designed for educators who want to transform their classrooms by integrating the Flipped Classroom and Blended Learning models. Through a combination of theory, hands-on workshops, and collaborative activities, participants will learn to create lesson plans that effectively blend face-to-face and online instruction. The course covers the key principles of these innovative teaching methodologies and provides a deep dive into the most widely used blended learning models, including Station Rotation, Lab Rotation, Flex, A La Carte, and Enriched Virtual. By the end of the course, participants will have designed their own blended learning units, ready for implementation in their educational settings.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the foundational principles and pedagogical benefits of the Flipped Classroom and Blended Learning models.
• Explore and compare different blended learning models (Station Rotation, Lab Rotation, Flex, A La Carte, Enriched Virtual) and identify the most suitable ones for various educational contexts.
• Create engaging pre-class materials such as video lectures, interactive presentations, and digital resources using tools like Screencast-O-Matic, Canva, and Edpuzzle.
• Design and plan blended learning lessons and units that integrate online and face-to-face activities effectively.

Methodology & Assessment

The course employs a flipped learning approach, where participants first engage with pre-class materials (videos, readings, and interactive resources) and then participate in hands-on workshops during the in-class sessions. Activities include collaborative lesson planning, peer review, micro-teaching, and reflection sessions. Participants will also create their own blended learning resources and receive feedback from both peers and instructors. Assessment is based on active participation, the quality of the blended learning unit designed during the course, and a reflective portfolio.
