Speaker 1: Prof. Lolita Edralin
Prof. Edralin shared her innovative approach to flipped classrooms, emphasizing the importance of mandatory pre-class homework. Students were required to watch videos before class, which were then analyzed and discussed during the session. She also demonstrated how tools like Classpoint and Blackboard can enhance teaching and motivate student engagement through interactive exercises.
Speaker 2: Dr. Barbara Siu
Dr. Siu discussed her strategies for creating effective pre-class videos and quizzes. She highlighted the benefits of producing new, concise videos and using a voice-over style to maintain student interest and comprehension.
Speaker 3: Dr. Kitty Chan
Dr. Chan introduced a group learning approach, where students completed pre-class worksheets in groups. This preparation facilitated in-class discussions and presentations, fostering a collaborative learning environment.
The workshop provided valuable insights and practical tips for educators looking to implement or improve their flipped classroom techniques.
