A Warning!
Adoption of the ideas we are about to discuss could lead to increased student
engagement, motivation, and retention!

The Problem• Students can’t, don’t, or won’t…–Take notes–Sit through lecture–Do homework–Study–Come to class
6http://today.io/X99t
My Inspiration• San Jose State University’s Electrical
Engineering Department paired up with online edX material from MIT
• Pass rate increased from 55% to 91%!

Implementation
• Just one lesson• Just one chapter• Just occasionally• Every class period
64http://today.io/X99t
Quick Start Guide• Define what you want to do in class
• Put material online to support (before & after)
• Use technology where it helps
– Videos, online discussions, online homework
• Decide what you will do with “extra” time
– Pacing will be much faster than traditional
65http://today.io/X99t
What if students come to a flipped class unprepared?
• Don’t accommodate them by lecturing!
• Let them struggle in class while others are being productive
• Can be minimized by collecting and grading assignments
66http://today.io/X99t
Mistakes to Avoid• Keep videos short (15 min max)
• Hold students individually accountable for their work
• Don’t lecture if students don’t watch videos
67http://today.io/X99t
Differentiation• High achieving students
• Remedial students
• Freshmen vs sophomores
• Large vs. small class
