PP 638. 1 Photo credit: US Department of Education The thoughts and ways of God in relation to His creatures are above our finite minds; but we may be assured that His children will be brought to fill the very place for which they are qualified, and will be enabled to accomplish the very work committed to their hands, if they will but submit their will to God, that His beneficent plans may not be frustrated by the perversity of man.

Four Pillars of Flip • Flexible environment – space, mode of delivery and timelines for learning • Learning culture – a learner centered approach to encourage deep learning • Intentional content – that maximizes learning • Professional educator – who guides learning and continuously improves practice Source: http: //flippedlearning. org/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/FLIP_handout_FNL_Web. pdf

Knowledge. Works: Definition of Personalized Learning • Instruction is aligned to standards • Instruction is customized; student designed learning experiences; aligned to student interests • Pace of instruction is varied based on student needs • Educators use data to differentiate instruction and provide support and intervention • Students have access to outcomes & assessment results Virgil Hammonds, Knowledge.

The Question

What is the relationship between students’ sequential movement and students’ The Research Question successful completion in distance selfpaced courses?

Other Similar Research • students who accessed a massive online course in a user-driven approach had a higher retention rate (Perna et al. , 2014) • Roe (1962) argued that college students may be more alert to material presented out of sequence • adult learners may indeed come to the learning task with prior knowledge that affects their sequencing choices (Mager & Clark, 1963) • Internet allows for choice to follow links of interest and select their own sequence of learning (Lin & Hsieh, 2001) • learning was most efficient when the learner could select their learning path (Mager & Clark, 1963)

How Flexible Should Digital/Flipped Learning Be? Self-pacing Instructor-pacing

Assessments at the Door Alex France • Clickers • Poll everywhere • Print • Short • Assess!

Well Designed Learning Activities • More discussion • Group work (designed with interdependence) • More practical application • Supported homework • Labs • Real-world learning • Mini-projects NTNU, Faculty of Natural Sc

Implementation • More in class active learning • More engaging assignments and in-class activities • Use when appropriate, not necessarily the whole semester • Snow days • CHOOSE the best teaching strategy for the content. • MIX it up – use a variety of methods

Some Expected Challenges • Student Expectations: Are they getting their money’s worth? • Course Design: What to assign out of class and what to do in class? • Activity Design: How can students best learn this? • Considerations: Are the videos accessible?

Spending Your Time Course Design Recording Videos

Why? Application Content Next Steps

Why? What is the main point of your course? What do you want students to walk away with?

Content How do your students currently learn the content part of your course? What ideas do you have for other ways to do that?

How do your students currently apply their content learning? What assignments or activities do you currently do? Are they working well? If not, why not? How will students use this learning in the real-world/workplace? Application

Next Steps
