FAB Training - Flipped, Active, Blended
A page within Center for Advancing Teaching and Learning (CATL)
Interested in how can you use the online teaching materials and activities in your in-person or hybrid classes this fall? This two-week, paid training will provide dedicated work time and support that will give you a head start on course preparation. We will focus on flipped classrooms, including how to plan them, manage student expectations, design application assignments, and assess student learning. Each day will consist of workshops and interactive discussion as well as independent work time. With the support of CATL staff and faculty colleagues, you will design a more active and engaging class for the fall.
