Flipped Classroom Community of Practice Series started this week

In response to the interest across campus in using a flipped classroom approach to teaching, we put out calls for faculty who would like to participate in a flipped classroom community of practice (FCCoP) cohort series of sessions. Within a few days of sending out the call our cohort was fully enrolled (27 members) with a waiting list! This week was our first of 6 sessions.  Participants introduced themselves, shared any experiences they have had to date in using a flipped classroom approach, and suggested topics they would like to address in future sessions.

We have created a closed Moodle site to serve as a learning space where our FCCoP group can ask questions of each other, share work in progress, and access resources. To accompany the site we also created a shared Flipped Classroom Google Doc where the group can post resources. Unlike the closed Moodle site, this Google document is open to anyone at UMD to access, both to learn about and to contribute resources on flipped classrooms. So please check it out and share resources that you have found helpful!
