Knowledge/Comprehension: spend less face to face time lecturing
four higher levels: spend more faxe to facae time applying analyzing, synthesizing evaluating

advantags to lecture flipped:
listen to it more than once, listen when more alert when prime time for indivudual; listen mobilly on multiple devices; can project what listening to to where you happen to be when listening. Less instructional time required since no classroom management going on, uninterrupted.

Faculty challenges:
Training students to download and listen to files, voicethread, etc.
Will they do the work?
How time consuming will it be to create?
What will we do together in class?
What would be the efect on the retention and student success/

Choices for students: listen or read?
Summative assessments after each 3 units with formative within each unit. Increased formative assessment a great deal for a lecture class.


Anatomy of learning unit:
Objectives
ASsignments: REad/listen to lectrue, complete pre-class voicethread, atttend class, another voice thread, etc.

How will I ensure students completed work before class?
develop formative , pre-class assesments.

voicethread - peer-peer participatory learning.

Pre and post are more formative, participation kind of grades while summative assessments are more performance based, fact checking, etc.

Facilitation:
Before class: review the voice thread, take notes, identify problem areas and strengths
During class: show voice thread, facilitate conversation usign notes, playing, call on students, expand on things. 30 min duscussion. Then multiple small group analysis (compare/contrast); then large group discussion of analysis; then additional activities like vidro, virtual field trip, wiki challenge, polling

additional activities:
call a friend! or take a poll.
wiki challenge - in class: in groups of 3, seek out information including book, validate online content, complete information on web page like google site; presentn to class ;
This developed exam content! would have resulted in same contet lecture would have containd.

Data for monitoring this:
Success and retention: at c.c. success + % still enrolled at end with c or higher. Retention? exam grades
