In this hands-on/active learning session, the presenter will discuss and demonstrate how to successfully flip the foreign language classroom (or any classroom). Students complete the “drill-and-kill” work outside of the classroom, optimizing the time in class to practice (and put into play) the language and culture in contextualized, real-life situations.
We implemented a first semester, content-heavy majors course in biochemistry, microbiology, and biotechnology, designed around student-chosen topics. Student teams record presentations in the One-Button Studio for viewing in advance, and then exploit meeting time to direct discussions of questions of molecular mechanism and human consequences.
The flipped classroom is a blended learning approach to a constructivist classroom. Educators from all over the world are proclaiming its benefits. But, what do the students think? Does flipping change student learning? What are the most important aspects to consider when flipping a course?

Together the presenters will construct a picture of how students and teachers perceive learning and teaching in a flipped classroom as well as how flipping a class affects students learning outcomes.

Social media is changing how we communicate, socialize, and learn. The Smeal College of Business uses Yammer to increase student engagement in online and flipped courses. Applying social network analysis, we will identify types, patterns, frequency, and “quality” of interactions among students’ and instructors’ discussion and levels of engagement in our courses.
