报告内容简介:

This seminar focuses on the meaningful alternation of in-class (face-to-face) and online learning that allow students to share resources, knowledge and feedback for instructional and developmental purposes. Blended instruction and flipped classroom ideas will be exchanged along with examples of enhanced instructional units. The expert perspective in online courses is confronted to the connective perspective.A variety of challenges will be examined and discussed. The overview of challenges and solutions is intended to help university instructors, Teaching Assistants and graduate students develop a new teaching perspective for deep autonomous learning in hybrid and flipped contexts with a word of caution, and examples of successful experiences. Indeed, we lack strategies for the flipped classroom.
