Hi all, thank you for your kind help. As you might aware, this session is part of my PGCHE (Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education) assignment. It is a British Teaching qualification course I am taking with Falmouth University, UK.

We will be exploring a rather different teaching and learning concepts, flipped classroom and blended learning.  If you are curious, flipped classroom is a concept related to the shifting of the onus (responsibility) from facilitators to the students. Blended learning involves the use of online and offline materials and environment.

Date: 11 July 2020

Location: Virtual and IAMET218 (UNNC)

Time: 11am-12pm and the pre-classroom activities as below
