Ideal if you are looking for ways to make your lectures more interactive.

What is Flipped Learning?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tuesday 13th March 10.00-12.00 (repeated 19th April).<\/span><\/p>\n

Flipped Learning is an approach to teaching in which content is delivered outside of the classroom through a series of pre- and post-session activities. The teaching session then becomes a series of student-centred active learning tasks, some of which may have traditionally been considered homework. This workshop will be delivered in a flipped style and will introduce participants to how they can use flipped learning in their own teaching. <\/span>Staff can book a place via Sussex Direct<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
