| Abstract: |
How to unlock student creativity in the classroom and engage students in analysis, problem solving and theory building rather than just application? In this presentation, Professor Groves will describe some of the fairly low-tech things he has been doing in his large sociology classes to achieve these goals. He will give specific examples of some of his in-class activities to demonstrate what he calls a more “organic” rather than “linear” approach to the flipped classroom. He will also talk about how he has adapted some of these activities for the new online teaching environment.
