During Planning Week, some of our faculty met to discuss their recent experience in teaching online courses. In this session, “An Open Forum: Lessons Learned by Summer 2011 Online Faculty,” we focused on these four key questions:
* How can one plan for success in teaching and learning online?
* In what ways were you able to connect with online students?
* How have you addressed faith and learning integration?
* What would you do differently next time?
As we delved into these questions, the notion of “the flipped classroom” became a recurring theme. This is not a new model but one that has been gaining ground in education — and one that is worth highlighting as many of our own faculty have been implementing it in their own classrooms, both traditional and online. According to the Knewton website, it is a “new method of teaching is turning the traditional classroom on its head.”
