Eric Landrum on Flipping Your Classroom: Why Bother and How to Do It

[#1]

During this webinar, I'll present some of the details about the how and the why of flipping your classroom.  Essentially, flipping your classroom means that you might use in-class time to complete tasks normally completed outside of class, and outside-of-class time to complete tasks typically done during class.  I currently teach my own upper division Research Methods class in this fashion, and I'll provide numerous examples from my own teaching.  Also, I'll share tips and technology tricks on how I created my own resources for the flipped classroom.
