We would like to invite VMU lecturers to participate in online training „Flipping a classroom for a better teaching and learning experience“, which will be held on 22nd of May, 9.00–12.00 CET by VMU lecturer dr. Žieda Tamašauskaitė. Registration
The training programme is designed for university teachers who either struggle to get their students engaged in their lessons or who are in search of more effective ways of teaching various university-level courses. The training comprises two lectures and a workshop. In the lectures, participants familiarize themselves with the basic principles of the flipped classroom method, get to know the advantages that the application of the method is expected to bring to both the teacher and his/her students, and learn about different ways of flipping a classroom. During the workshop, participants do practical exercises and activities that are intended to assist them in sharing their knowledge of effective teaching practices and generating ideas for integrating the flipped classroom method into their classroom.
