The experience of teaching and learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic invites renewed attention to flipping the classroom, that is, a pedagogical strategy whereby students engage with readings, recorded lectures, and other instructional materials outside of class in order to make more in-class time available for active learning, group discussion, and problem solving. In this workshop, instructors will share their experiences with flipping the classroom and offer some insight, both individual and collective, to how they have innovated flipped classrooms amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Topics will include the relationship between the flipped classroom and blended learning; engaging students in a flipped classroom; creation and assessment of assignments and activities; striking a balance between out-of-class and in-class activity; and addressing challenges to designing and teaching a flipped class.

This workshop is open to all faculty and graduate student instructors. To register, please email Ellen Mandly at emandly@umassd.edu. In-person participation will be limited to the first 10 registrants; virtual participation is available to anyone. Please make your preference known when registering. Lunch is provided for in-person participants.
