The Flipped Classroom - Benefits
So what does that mean for us in the virtual classroom?
Facilitator
More a change of approach
than new skills
Let go of the learning a little –
but correct misunderstanding
Help learner embed the learning
through scenario’s and role
plays
Producer
Monitoring and supporting
pre-work
Keeping participants connected
to the learning on curriculum
More active role in collaborative
exercises
So what does that mean for us in the virtual classroom?
Instructional Designer
Need to create pre-work and tie
in to main content
Ensure full suite of resources
are available to participants and
facilitation team
Communication for programme
needs to be clearer
Participants Manager’s
Promote and communicate
critical need for pre-work
Support participants by allowing
“time” to complete pre-work
during work time
So what does that mean for us in the virtual classroom?
Participants
Be responsible for ensuring completion of pre-work
Accountability
More engaged in learning
Changing the Culture
Communicate clearly
Don’t reteach – not got time to!
Make the pieces reliant on each other
5 Keys to success
Flipping the virtual classroom needs strong objectives and design Designers need to create both asynchronous and synchronous content Trainers need to move from ‘Sage-on-Stage’ to ‘Guide-on-side’ Participants need to come to session prepared Managers need to support learners to learn
