It is time to review the schedule for the placement of your session in the AAACE Agenda. This is the final draft of the Schedule. When you look up your name, use the detail listing to check what days/times you asked to be placed. This is a huge program and we can accommodate necessary changes in day and time now, but may not be able to do so after September 1, 2013 except in emergencies. Please carefully check your placement and send any requests to Ginger Phillips, AAACE Conference Planner with AAACE Session Change Request in the subject line. We will respond to your email, but it may take us up to a week to do so. Thanks for your help in "fine tuning" this agenda!
Application of a Flipped Course Model to Adult Education
Type of Presentation
Shared
Session Abstract
A flipped course model moves lectures outside of the classroom, reserving class time for discussion and problem solving. This session explores the value of flipped courses for adult learning.
Target Audience
Professors interested in a cutting edge teaching method that creates the opportunity for active learning in a college classroom setting as well as administrators looking for more efficient and effective ways to meet students’ needs should attend. Additionally, this session will be of interest to adult educators and professional and workforce development specialists seeking a new model for teaching adults in formal, informal, or non-formal learning environments.
Learning Outcomes
Participants will be able to (a.) describe a flipped course model; (b.) evaluate the pros and cons of a flipped course model; and (c.) analyze strategies for applying a flipped course model in adult learning programs.
Session Description
Instructors often complain about not having enough class time to accomplish their objectives and struggle with ways to effectively utilize technology while adding value during face-to-face time. A flipped course model can address some of these challenges by moving initial instruction which traditionally takes place in class outside of the classroom. The information can be delivered in a variety of forms including reading assignments or video lectures, which provide students with a clear way to prepare for each class by learning some concepts before walking in the door. This frees class time for doing what happens best when students and professor are together: questioning, problem solving, and developing higher level thinking skills. The purpose of the session is to discuss the effectiveness of a flipped course model in higher education and to explore applications for the model in adult learning.
Efforts are made to try to schedule sessions on the day preferred by the Primary Presenter, though this cannot be guaranteed. Please check your preference.
