Class Time Reconsidered: Flipping the Literature Class<\/strong> <\/a>— from Derek Bruff<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

Reading a text or commenting on a blog post are usually activities we ask students to do outside of class. But Helen and Humberto have flipped that idea by bringing those activities into the classroom, where they could be collaborative and communal. Why? Because close reading of a text and responding to another writer\u2019s argument are both important skills in a literature course. Why not have students practice those skills during class, when they can receive feedback on that practice from both their instructor and their peers?<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s what the flipped classroom is actually all about. Never mind that bit about lecture videos and group work. The flipped classroom is about moving the hard parts of learning into the classroom, where they can benefit from what Helen Shin calls \u201cshared temporal, spatial, and cognitive presence.\u201d After all, most of us only have maybe 150 minutes a week with our students during class. Shouldn\u2019t we spend that time engaging our students in the kind of practice and feedback that\u2019s central to learning in our disciplines?<\/p>\n
