Flipping a Geology Class

Subject: How to flip a class to include more student work prior to lecture
Description: This video describes the characteristics of our flipped introductory geology class with a focus on what students do before coming to class. We discuss the research behind why we wanted to adopt a flipped format and describe how we adapted the delivery of content to include a mix of in- and out-of-class activities. We specifically discuss the use of short videos to support pre-class learning and how this has increased the time available in class for active learning exercises. Finally, we present the results of some of our research that shows that students learn more from viewing the videos than from reading equivalent textbook passages.
