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

PRE-CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES- SUMMARY:

  1. Watch the three podcasts, please see the links below.
  2. Do the short quiz (3 minutes top to fill in), link can be found below.
  3. Look for group assignment
  4. Prepare a group oral presentation (2 minutes each group of two- so one minute each person)
