Learning Lunch Box November 2013

14th November 2013, Caulfield
'Flipped Classrooms'

The next Learning Lunch Box, presented by the Office of the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Learning & Teaching), will feature presentations by Mr Peter Wagstaff, Dr Kevin Pimbblet and Dr Andy Ruddock, on the theme of 'flipped classrooms'.

Date: Thursday 14th November 2013
Time: 12pm - 1pm
Venue: The Slate, Room C3.22, Building C, Level 3, Caulfield (located in Office of PVCLT)


Speaker 1: Mr Peter Wagstaff, Lecturer, Department of Marketing, Faculty of Business and Economics
Flipping with Moodle Lessons
Moodle lessons are an easy way to deliver content to students. They are a series of html pages on which you can include any learning materials you wish, presented to students in either a linear or branched structure. In this session, Wags will show how he uses lessons to flip MKF1120, a first-year undergraduate buseco unit. You will see how to structure a lesson, embed video content, add quiz questions, and then use lesson data to track student progress throughout the semester.

Speaker 2: Dr Kevin Pimbblet, Senior Lecturer, School of Physics, Faculty of Science
An active learning paradigm in physics teaching
If you lost all your course content, would you rebuild it as it was, or would you choose a new route? When I found myself in this position, I opted for a new route in first year physics teaching. The paradigm I've constructed consists of a core active learning drive that features (but is not limited to) problem based learning, use of clickers, pre-reading and testing of that reading, online Mastering Physics assessment and elimination of prescriptive laboratory tasks. In this talk, I will highlight a few of these concepts and the impact they've had on my students.

Speaker 3: Dr Andy Ruddock, Senior Lecturer, Communications & Media Studies, Faculty of Arts
Flipping off flipped classrooms: why don't media students want to share?
This presentation considers the limitations of social media 'flipped classroom' technologies, as applied to media education. In particular, the decision to abandon the traditional lecture/tutorial format in favour of a two hour seminar model for the ‘Youth and Media’ module. Although the module scores well on SETU, students do not engage with the social media aspects, and Moodle participation has decreased. This presentation considers the case that this 'failure' is the product of conflict between the social media ethic of sharing, student ambition and the topic of media influence, which can be highly confronting, on a personal level.

Videoconferencing with all campuses is available. Video recordings will be made available on this site. 

Places are limited, so please book early.
