After reading the EdSurge article “Flipped Learning Can Be a Key to Transforming Teaching and Learning Post-Pandemic”, Maria was curious to learn more about flipped learning. So she invited the author, Robert Talbert, to join her on the podcast. Robert has published the book Flipped Learning: A Guide for Higher EducationFaculty, to support other educators on their flipped learning journey and help them avoid the mistakes he made teaching with flipped learning since 2009. He also wanted to collect everything he knew about flipped learning - along with some research, theoretical foundations, history, and practical examples - and put it in one volume. Together, they discuss why Robert decided to try flipped learning for the first time, who uses flipped learning and why, and how to design a flipped learning environment online or as a hybrid course. They also unpack the support faculty need to adopt flipped learning and guide their students to develop self-teaching skills. Robert is a professor of Mathematics at Grand Valley State University, where he teaches a wide range of mathematics courses and conducts research in undergraduate mathematics education, with a focus on flipped learning and technology-enabled active learning. He served as Assistant Chair and Chair of the Mathematics Department between 2018 and 2020. Robert holds MS and PhD degrees in Mathematics from Vanderbilt University and taught in small liberal arts colleges for 14 years before arriving at Grand Valley State University in 2011. He is a frequent workshop facilitator and keynote speaker on teaching and learning in the US and abroad. He writes about flipped learning, math, technology, education, and academic productivity on his personal blog. Tune in to learn from an inspirational leader in higher education who wants to give faculty a handbook for how to get started and keep going.

Choosing Flipped Learning for the Future of Teaching and Learning with Robert Talbert

Robert Talbert, Professor and Assistant Chair in the Mathematics Department at Grand Valley State University, joins this episode to discuss everything to do with flipped learning.Robert wrote the book: Flipped Learning: A Guide for Higher Education Faculty, published by Stylus Publications in May 2017."I wrote this book because I've been teaching with flipped learning for a while (since 2009) and writing about it on my blog for about the same amount of time. During that time I've made a lot (!) of mistakes and figured a lot of things out. I wanted to collect everything I know about flipped learning --- along with some research, theoretical foundations, history, and practical examples --- and put it in one volume. I'm convinced that flipped learning is the way of the future in higher education and I want to give faculty in all walks of higher ed a handbook for how to get started and keep going." - Robert TalbertRelated linksSeries on "How much research has been done on flipped learning": Original 2016 article: https://rtalbert.org/how-much-research/ 2017 update: https://rtalbert.org/how-much-research-update/ 2018 update: https://rtalbert.org/how-much-research-update-2018/ 2019 update: https://rtalbert.org/how-much-research-update-2019/What research on flipped learning tells us: https://rtalbert.org/what-does-the-research-say/  The Flipped Learning One Year Plan: https://rtalbert.org/one-year-plan/  All blog posts on flipped learning: https://rtalbert.org/tag/flipped-learning/  My book: At Stylus -- https://styluspub.presswarehouse.com/browse/book/9781620364321/Flipped-Learning  At Amazon -- https://amzn.to/2Zr5asb  Organizations: https://flippedlearning.org/ https://flglobal.org/  ---------------------------------------------------Check out more WISE content!Website: www.wise-qatar.orgEmail: wisewordspod@gmail.comTwitter: twitter.com/WISE_TweetsInstagram: wiseqatar

33: Flipping Classrooms with Robert Talbert

The evidence is clear that when students work actively in the classroom, they learn more. It's also true that most of the classrooms we teach in were designed for a professor to lecture to a group of students that sit passively and take notes. What do classrooms designed for active learning look like? Do students learn more when we teach in active learning classrooms? And what other impacts might teaching in active learning classrooms have on students and instructors? Robert Talbert, a math professor and education researcher at Grand Valley State University, recently took a deep dive into the literature on these questions, and in this episode he shares what he's learned.
