A presentation from the STEM Annual Conference 2014.
Screencasts are easily recorded videos of what the presenter says perfectly synchronised with what appears on the screen. Clickers are audience response handsets used for instant polling which can often be replaced by smartphone apps. By encouraging students to watch screencasts in advance to use clickers and other tools to engage and by encouraging considered interaction we have flipped many of the lectures on our degree programme. Lecture flipping has proven to be hugely popular. But how does one proceed when student answers reveal incomplete understanding or misconceptions? In many instances the solution has proven to be peer instruction. We will discuss how lecture flipping facilitates peer instruction and the extraordinary effectiveness of this approach.
