Flipped and Online: How to Apply a Flipped Model when Developing an Online Course Johanna Creswell Báez, PhD, LCSW Cossy Hough, LCSW Ginger Lucas, LMSW
Defining a Flipped Classroom • Terms • Inverted • Backwards • Upside down • Components • Activities that promote individual learning become homework • Class time focused on applied learning and discussion
Flipped Pedagogy in Social Work • Over the last decade, there has been a pedagogical movement towards active learning, such as flipped classrooms (Berrett, 2012). • Only two studies have recently been published with a focus on the flipped classroom in social work education (Holmes, Tracy, Painter, Oestreich & Park, 2015; Sage & Sele, 2015). • Holmes et al. (2015) described a flipped foundations methods practice course and used Google products in both a foundation and advanced masters course. • Sage & Sele (2015) outlined the benefits of using reflective journaling as a flipped classroom technique in two social work practice courses. • More research is needed into the benefits and use of flipped classroom techniques in social work.
Positives of Flipping What have you experienced?
Positives in Flipped Pedagogy • Class Time Spent On Higher Order Thinking Skills • Increased Student Engagement- no longer passive participants • Peer learning
Challenges of Flipping What have you experienced?
Challenges for Instructors and Students Instructors • Time • Need students who follow through (assessment of learning) • Technology and resources Students • Time • Need to be responsible, independent learners • Technology
Modify Flipped Instruction:Online Learning in Social Work 1. Pre class: Prior Knowledge • Ensure students bring knowledge of key concepts • EduCanon 2. During class: Application • Help students with engagement • Voice Thread 3. Post class: Feedback
Example from MSW Macro Class • Financial Management, Administration Students • Learning different revenue streams, including grants • Before class, students analyzed a recent RFP and posted via an asynchronous bulletin board about pros and cons of applying for the grant (show Canvas) • The class time was then used for different class members to present their findings and the class decided on if the non-profit should apply for the grant (see synchronous video discussion via Adobe Connect) • Further, a non-profit executive guest speaker provided an analysis of revenue streams and grants for the latter half of the class (see synchronous video discussion)
Example from MSW Assessment Course Pre-Class: Flipped & Online • Reading, Lecture & Community Walk (create video) During Class: • Flipped: Bring video to class, complete assessment in groups • Online: Group video editing- ID assessment data • Houston- Second Ward Community Post-Class: • Students upload video to class YouTube channel for peer and instructor feedback
Example from BSW Practice Course • Field Agency Scavenger Hunt • Readings, agency assessment • Students gather relevant information from field placement site • Production of electronic presentation using Screencast-o-matic, submit through Canvas • View two presentations from peers and leave feedback • Answer discussion question and respond to others in Canvas
