Keynote: Strengthening Student Foundations: Strategies for a Flipped Classroom

UC Panorama Ballroom

Too often, gaps in foundational knowledge limit student success in higher-level skills and courses. Fortunately, the flipped classroom offers unique opportunities to address these foundational weaknesses. This presentation will highlight a blend of active-learning approaches used to address these challenges in introductory and upper-level courses, including benchmark quizzes, in-class polling, speed drills, and new digital resources that emphasize low-level knowledge, recognition, and skills. The presentation includes data and examples from both introductory and upper-level classes.
