Blended Format and Flipped Classroom - Kristen Rivedal
- NPR recording 2 yrs ago. “Don't lecture me”
- "Snacking" is now what is chunking video in tasty bites instead of one long lecture.
- Use sources like kahn academy and then focus on students questions in classroom
feedback
- Students didn't know they are in a hybrid
- Good f2f teacher works better than technology
- Felt rushed in classroom
Suggestions
· Think of it as an online course with a f2f component instead of a f2f with an online component
· Explain to the student why we are doing this? Get the maximum potential of this format.
· First night in computer lab. Get students up to speed on technology, system requirements and all questions and meeting dates clarified.

Planning/Determine training needs
- prior to the upgrade: show-n-tell

hiccups
- 8 hours became 24 hours
- calendar was turned it off because it was hanging up the opening of the course.
- content previewer did not work, have students, faculty download content
- quizzes in Chrome don’t work

Communication Plan
Teachers need to vent, be prepared: have elevator speech ready for “Why we are doing this?”
Kristin is available for questions and advice, tutorials on their website publicly, for students – Front Range Community College
MOOC panel: Survivors, Thrivers, and Skeptics
Kathy Keirns, DU; Sherry Jones, ACC; Nate Wadman, PPCC; Alice Bedard-Voorhees UCD; Peter Jeschofnig, CMC
xMOOC - video, quiz, structured
cMOOC - community, interaction, purpose is to share, develop, exchange knowledge (social media part of it)
gMOOC - game-based MOOC
Nate - dozens he signed up for. Diverse quality. looked at navigation, videos, lurk, what others are designing.
lit says 2-20% complete course.
High dropout rate reasons: takes too much time, too basic, too complex, hidden cost ($150 textbook)
Kathy - did Coursera - univ. has to pay money to put it on. finished this one feel like she got more out of it. 5 instructors from scotland, learned a lot, google hangout every week, good instructors, actual masters courses, got Coursera Certificate. free. But now the Coursera certificate costs $50 at end.
Reasons why MOOC? Philanthropic, knowledge for all, advertising for taking real course.
Alice - ACE (American Council of Education) is reviewing MOOCs to decide if credit can be given for these. 5 have been accepted. New model for equating knowledge for credit. (Ask Fran what she thinks of this...)
WCET talking points on MOOCs - two page guide questions to ask for universities before offering one.
Presentation includes MOOC bookmarks:

Challenging the Myths and Succeeding at Multi-Generational Teaching
Lisa Ortiz, Metro, teaches MM, Graphic Design
Teaching Strategies
Pitfalls to avoid:
- don't ignore the differences
- don't try to appeal all to the same assignment
Good information about strategies in how they learn and how to give feedback, how they behave in the classroom and why
· Retired generation is the fastest growing population using the internet
· Gen X - keep wanting to know "WHY?"
· Millennial/Gen Y - don't tell me, don't show me, CONNECT ME!
This is one that Nicole sent to me that looks really good:
