Flipped classroom as the learning method for this course
​

​The notion of a flipped classroom draws on such concepts as active learning, student engagement & hybrid course design. The value of a flipped class is in the re-use of class time into a workshop where students can inquire about lecture content, test their skills in applying knowledge, and interact with one another in hands-on activities. 

In a traditional lecture, students often try to capture what is being said at the instant the speaker says it. They cannot stop to reflect upon what is being said, and they may miss significant points because they are trying to transcribe the instructor’s words.

By contrast, the use of prerecorded video lectures puts the content material under the control of the students: they canwatch, rewind, and fast-forward as needed. Lectures that can be viewed more than once may also help those for whom English is not their first language.  Devoting class time to application of concepts gives the instructor (me, that is) a better opportunity to detect errors in thinking, particularly those that are widespread in a class. At the same time this method encourages social interaction among students, making it easier for them to learn from one another and for those of varying skill levels to support their peers.

In the video below, meet Danial Barker, a teacher of maths at a College in Stockholm. He explains and justifies the how and why.
