YouTube Video Lectures - Flipping the Classroom

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFOJSSWxK3s&feature=player_embedded

To engage students we need to deliver academic content in new ways. For the past couple of years I've been replacing my face-to-face lectures with online videos. The students love them and it gives us more time in class to discuss and apply what is being learned.

March 2012 News from The National Teaching & Learning FORUM

 

The National Teaching & Learning FORUM E-Mail Newsletter Ideas in Contexts February March 2012  Hello and welcome to the March edition of The National Teaching & Learning FORUM's free, occasional, e-mail newsletter. The new issue of the FORUM is on its way to subscribers and a free sample story is posted at www.ntlf.com in the hope that you'll be inspired to subscribe to the publication and benefit from all the excellent articles each issue contains. Our sample story is on Contemplative Pedagogy. It's part one of a two-part article.   Go here to read the article.  Bring an Inspiring Speaker to Your Campus Your faculty deserve to know how deeply society values and has always valued the calling they've answered. James Rhem's presentation on "The Teacher in the Movies" demonstrates in detail just how deeply the archetype of the teacher figures and has always figured in our cultural values. Rhem's presentation - filled with video clips from films from 1939 to the present -- has been welcomed and praised on campuses across the country.    More information  Consider inviting the Executive Editor of   The National Teaching & Learning FORUM to your campus. James has also been an effective speaker and workshop leader on a variety of other important topics. He recently returned from giving presentations and workshops on peer observation, effective teaching, critical thinking, and life-long learning at King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Saudi Photos  Additionally, he's also spoken on the growing importance of understanding the connections between affect and cognition in teaching and learning as revealed by current neurobiological research - a favorite topic. Recent speaking at CSU-Channel Islands  Contact James Rhem at JRHEM@CHORUS.NET  Write for the FORUM Have you considered writing an article for the FORUM? Perhaps you should! The Forum encourages submissions on any aspect of college teaching and learning. The ideal article falls within a 1500 word limit and, following Thomas Sprat's praise of the Royal Society, holds to a style of writing that reflects a "close, naked, natural way of speaking." Normally, articles come from faculty, but other voices, including student voices, are welcome. Also, the symbiosis between our printed edition and our website creates rich opportunities for posting ancillary materials to accompany submissions. Submit manuscripts to James Rhem at 2203 Regent Street, Suite B, Madison, WI 53726 or via email at jrhem@chorus.net.
