Flipping the Classroom Fellowship begins - Duke Learning Innovation & Lifetime Education

The Center for Instructional Technology will be working with a group of Duke faculty during the 2013-14 academic year on integrating active learning in the classroom. Our Flipping the Classroom Faculty Fellowship brings together a diverse group of faculty to share faculty experiences using active learning techniques to achieve greater student learning, and to implement new techniques in their classes.

Participants in the program will be meeting about every three weeks during the academic year. Activities will include discussion of and practice with active learning techniques, developing course outlines with learning objectives and assessments to guide activities, and visits to Duke classrooms to observe activities. Faculty in the Fellowship will also develop assessments to determine if their goals of increasing student participation and learning are achieved.

During the next few months, we hope to have periodic updates from our Fellows about their classroom activities and what they are learning as they explore new ways of “flipping” their classes.

We are excited to work with the following faculty as we kick off the program.
