The Flipped Classroom Workshop || The Flipped Classroom is an instructional model in which faculty typically assign recorded video lectures or readings as homework, and use class time for active learning exercises, peer discussions and direct engagement with students. The model is described as "flipped" because a traditional class tends to involve an instructor-led lecture with students directly engaging with the content via homework outside of the classroom. || Student Engagement || || This page hosts the resources shared in the workshop designed to orient new instructors to the classroom technology setups and equipment available at Howard Community College. || Technology Integration || || This page contains links to documents and external resources to support your use of PowerPoint. || Technology Integration || || Record lectures for students to review or to prepare before they attend your class.
