Exploring how flipped learning supports students in developing problem solving skills [SHIFT2015]

This is a follow up post exploring the work of Dr. Tatiana Simmonds (Principal Lecturer, Computing and Information Systems Department) and Zoe Swan (Senior Lecturer in Law). The first post, Flipped classroom at the University of Greenwich: our lecturers discuss, featured an interview conversation between them and the Greenwich Connect team.

This blog post offers a video of their presentation at the SHIFT2015 conference at the University of Greenwich. In this Zoe and Tatiana shared the preliminary findings of using flipped learning and SCALE UP (Student Centered Active Learning Environment Upside Down Pedagogy) to engage first year undergraduate law students and masters level database administration students. The session explored the preliminary feedback provided by the two different groups of students in relation to their flipped learning experience. The benefits and challenges of using the flipped learning approach were also explored from the tutor’s perspective.
