TIME: 13:00-14:00
LOCATION: Sir Alwyn Williams Building, 423 Seminar Room
DESCRIPTION:

The cultures of social media and prosumerism enter the domain of education and power a shift towards learner-centred active learning. This motivates us to develop and evaluate a new instructional and learning approach that is built on the reuse of student-generated content. The proposed approach is called Self-Flipped Classroom, where the self part of the name stands for materials that students produce as part of their own learning; and the flip part of the name stand for reuse of these materials by instructors for teaching other students in the flipped classroom pedagogical model. This talk will introduce Self-Flipped Classroom both from theoretical and practical viewpoints, and discuss the experience of implementing this approach in two universities (Newcastle, UK and Uppsala, Sweden), highlighting the associated benefits and challenges.

Speaker: Anna Vasilchenko

Anna is a postgraduate researcher based in the Open Lab at Newcastle University, UK. She works on innovative methods of teaching and learning for STEM subjects in higher education. Anna's specific focus is on student-generated content and blended learning (such as Flipped Classroom), which are founded on the principles of 'learning through making' and 'peer learning'. Her current research goal is to design a new pedagogical model to ease the transition from traditional to flipped classroom teaching for instructors, whilst enhancing student learning experience through the production of digital learning materials.
