The corona crisis has forced many instructors to create online courses in a short period of time. But there is a difference between remote emergency teaching and online learning. With so much digital material now created for SoSe2020, what do we do when we return to our classrooms? How can we take advantage of our current effort and better prepare for WS20/21, in order to digitally revamp our courses faster and more efficiently?

In a Flipped Classroom, basic knowledge transfer is often accomplished through online videos and independent reading assignments, in order to optimize the valuable face-to-face time for collaboration and peer learning. In this workshop, we will discuss how to design a flipped classroom in a didactically meaningful way. We will predict challenges that may arise for students and instructors and how they can be managed. In addition, we will review what methods can be used, and which tools are suitable. Based on the experience instructors have gained with classical classroom teaching and pure online courses, you will develop and test innovative methods and tools for the further development of your own courses.

Topics Include:

• Moodle
• Instructional videos
• Collaboration: Forums and Peer Learning
• Classroom Response Systems
• E-assessments
• MOOCs
• Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality

 

This workshop will be held in a flipped format: Preparatory readings and videos, as well as follow-up activities will be assigned via this Moodle course. The live session will be held via a Zoom meeting.

Learning Outcomes
At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• describe the theoretical principles for the design and implementation of flipped classrooms.
• identify the benefits and challenges of online and classroom teaching.
• gain practical ideas and strategies to facilitate active learning.
• implement selected tools and methods for blended learning scenarios with reference to teaching objectives and learning goals.
