Flip Class Question Design Workshop, at ATL Summer Teaching Institute, NC AT & T State University (Greensboro, NC), Tuesday, May 14, 2013:
Questions are the heart of engaging students in a flipped class. In this workshop, we will collaborate to discover the elements of an effective question. We will practice answering different question types as a large group and work individually and in pairs on a flipped classroom case study to learn promising practices for developing effective questions. At the end of the workshop, we will also apply our learning by trying to write a few new questions.
Flipping the Classroom 201, at ATL Summer Teaching Institute, NC AT & T State University (Greensboro, NC), Monday, May 13, 2013:
Simply putting lectures online is one way to flip a class, but it is not the best way. In this workshop, Dr. Julie Schell will introduce two research-based strategies teachers can use to design learning environments that boost student engagement with subject-matter both in and outside of class. Attendees will experience live demonstrations of one flipped class technique called Peer Instruction, developed at Harvard University and backed by 20 years of research, that can be used in any discipline and with any class size.
Flipping the Classroom 101, at ATL Summer Teaching Institute, NC AT & T State University (Greensboro, NC), Monday, May 13, 2013:
An introduction to the flipped classroom Instructors all over the globe are turning their students' worlds around by flipping their classrooms. In a flipped class, teachers move information coverage out of the lecture hall so that they can better leverage in-class time to address student difficulties and misconceptions. In this interactive session, Dr. Julie Schell will flip the workshop by providing brief introductory, pre-workshop activities to participants. She will use responses from these activities in the workshop and discuss the why, what, and how of flipped classrooms by confronting... Read more about Flipping the Classroom 101

Peer Instruction 2.0: Beyond a 90's pedagogy, at CSM Faculty Development Workshops, Rowan University (Glassboro, NJ), Friday, April 12, 2013
Peer Instruction (PI) is a research-based, interactive teaching method that helps instructors engagestudents in and out of class. The centerpiece of Peer Instruction is the ConcepTest, a short conceptual question that helps elicit, uncover and resolve student misconceptions. “Turn to your neighbor” is the classic catch phrase of PI methodology, whereby after a brief mini-lecture in class, teachers encourage students to think about a question, vote on their answer, and then turn to their neighbor to engage, rather than sit passively in a lecture. In this presentation, we examine three big... Read more about Peer Instruction 2.0: Beyond a 90's pedagogy
Assessment: The Secret to Great Teaching, at Universidad de Diego Portales, LASPAU affiliated with Harvard University (Cambridge, MA), Thursday, April 4, 2013:
Open the doors to any classroom across the globe and you will observe an almost universal model for the evaluation of student learning. Instructors stand at the front of a lecture hall, teach content, students (at least we hope) attempt to learn that content, and then instructors evaluate that content learning through traditional assessments such as multiple-choice exams, quizzes, or research papers. Most of these conventional approaches to evaluation are one-dimensional and not aligned with overarching learning goals that relate to competencies students actually need to progress successfully...

Leveraging Technology to Enhance Evidence-Based Pedagogy: A Case Study of Peer Instruction in Norway, at Universidad del Norte (Barranquilla, Colombia), Friday, March 22, 2013:
Peer Instruction (PI) is an evidence-based, interactive teaching method developed by Eric Mazur at Harvard University in the 1990s. PI has been adopted across the disciplines, in every institutional type, and in classrooms throughout the world. A global community of innovative educators, the Peer Instruction Network connects users worldwide and provides opportunities for sharing and learning about PI. While PI can be implemented using basic classroom tools, it is enhanced when paired with educational technologies. In this presentation, PI expert and Peer Instruction Network co-founder, Dr....

How to Transform Learning ... with Teaching, at Conferência Internacional de Educação:, Instituto Expertise (Salvador, Bahia, Brazil), Thursday, March 14, 2013:
The ability to take what is learned in classrooms and apply it within new contexts is the most important skill for 21st century learners. Transfer of learning is the heart of innovation and the core purpose of any educational system. No matter if you are a teacher, an administrator, or policymaker, no matter where in the world you reside and no matter what you teach, this mission of education does not drift. Unfortunately, by the time students arrive at university, after more than 11,000 hours of compulsory schooling, they still have difficulty transferring knowledge across contexts. This is...
