ASSIGNMENT
Suppose your residential institution is considering adopting a flipped classroom approach in which learners are assigned reading and viewing tasks outside the classroom (reading targeted entries in a reputable online encyclopedia, viewing TED talks on relevant subjects, etc.) and then given small group problem-solving activities when in the classroom, with the instructor serving as an on-call adviser. What factors are likely to be relevant to successful integration of this flipped classroom approach and how are those factors related?
A critical reflection question: Many of the learning activities in this book ask the learner to identify and describe key factors and their various relationships involved in a problem situation. Is such an exercise designed to promote systematic and/or systemic thinking? Why and how? Do you think that this technique is effective?
