Description
Have you ever felt that you just don’t have enough time in a one-shot library session to cover the information you want to teach? And what about time for a hands-on research experience? In the flipped model of teaching, the instruction is done as homework and the homework is done in class. Librarians can take advantage of this learning style to double the amount of instruction time available to them in a one-shot session. See how one librarian used a variety of learning tools outside the classroom (such as videos, tutorials, and games) to teach important skills and concepts, allowing for in-class time to do the more practical work of assisting with an upcoming research assignment. In this session, we will look at the history and theory of flipping the classroom, as well as share some practical ideas for how to accomplish this.
