Flipping Chemistry at a Distance

Mike Christiansen, Utah State University

Description

In flipped classrooms, lecture is pushed outside of class through online videos, freeing up in-class time for higher-learning activities. Despite a growing literature focus on flipped learning over the past five years, little attention has been paid to flipping classes that are simultaneously broadcast to multiple geographic sites. In these settings, the perceived divide between instructors and distance students is greater, adding another variable to the unique dynamic of flipped learning. In this talk, I’ll share experiences from three years of flipping broadcast courses, as well as strategies for shrinking the perceived instructor/ distance-student divide.
