This workshop focused on the practical "how-to" of institutionalizing flipped learning, specifically addressing the transition from conceptual understanding to sustainable classroom implementation.
Dr. Markku Saarelainen, a University Lecturer at the University of Eastern Finland and founder of Flipme International Oy, shared his extensive experience in coaching hundreds of faculty members. The session was structured around a proven "train-the-teacher" pathway designed to help educators adopt flipped learning quickly and effectively. Dr. Saarelainen highlighted four essential pillars: purposeful pre-class design, active in-class patterns, formative assessment to guide instruction, and the use of simple analytics for rapid iteration.
A significant portion of the session was dedicated to the intersection of flipped learning and Generative AI, demonstrating how AI can be leveraged for material creation and feedback to reduce teacher workload while enhancing student engagement. Participants were provided with concrete templates and a strategic roadmap for piloting courses, emphasizing the development of durable teaching capacity within higher education institutions.
