Inverted Classroom ONline
Date du début: 1 sept. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2018 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

As active educational institutions, we are constantly searching to find new educational tools and instruments to provide a forward-looking and best adapted teaching. The technological development over the recent years has made knowledge more accessible and has changed the way teaching may be carried out. Among other new pedagogical methods, "inverted classroom" has established itself as a teaching method, particularly in higher education. It is a form of blended learning in which students learn the content of subjects online by watching video lectures, usually at home, and "homework" is done in the class with teachers and students discussing subjects / solving questions. Teacher interaction with students is more personalized - guidance instead of lecturing. None of the partners in the partnership have adopted this pedagogical method in their teaching .The inverted classroom method is therefore highly relevant for all partner organisations, and addresses the challenges of participation for their learners. Learners are able to catch up with their class, study at their own pace, rewind the video, pause it or watch it again, revise topics and study autonomously, regardless of the students' location or the school's working hours. We are convinced that flipped classroom methodology will help the partner organisations to promote lifelong learning for adults that need to strengthen their competence. It will be an new additional tool, and the use of it must be adapted to the various target groups' level and needs. By doing this, we will increase our possibilities to deliver high quality teaching, to give more personalized tailored guidance to adult learners and diversified groups, and to deal with complex classroom realities.If an educational institution choose to use such a pedagogy as the Flipped classroom, it is obvious that the teacher are very central ; there are those who will plan, create educational programs and conduct the teaching. In all steps in our planned project, we will focus on to thoroughly prepare and train teachers in all the skills that are necessary in order to follow a well thought out pedagogical framework for the Flipped classroom teaching and production of educational videos. The project has several concrete and tangible goals. We will create a community and a common blog for communication; sharing of ideas, questions, and results among the teachers during the project. The blog will be constantly updated, and also ensure free access for the public to the materials produced during the project, and in 5 years after the project is finished. To achieve our objectives, we will study the concept of "inverted classroom" thoroughly in order to establish a common pedagogical framework to be followed by all the partners. We will search for information, guidelines and best practices, both national and world wide, exchange knowledge and discuss the subject in-depth. Further, we are going to look at the need for technical equipment to get a technical quality that is "good enough", we have to decide what kind of cameras/equipment and software we might use for this purpose. We will then produce a MOOC containing training resource consisting of 9 videos on “how to do educational videos” based upon the common pedagogical framework agreed upon. The teachers will carry out this training program; make use of the pedagogical principles established in the framework , and learn to use the appropriate software and technical equipment, as well as edit, produce and deliver tutorial videos of high quality. These videos will be studied and evaluated jointly by all partners. After each video of this course, there will be discussion tasks, practical exercises and questions. Thus, the MOOC will present a complete training package which enables the involved teachers to revise and strengthen their professional profile. A combination of theoretical analysis and learning by doing will give the teachers confidence in their further work, and extending their competence regarding effective use of IT in adult learning. The final goal of the project is to let the teachers produce their own teaching videos and implement the flipped classroom methodology in their everyday practice. Before the teachers start to implement the flipped classroom methodology, we will offer our students/learners training in the necessary basic computer skills and abilities, and ensure that the learners master these essential skills to take full advantage of the inverted classroom/flipped classroom methodology. We think that all kind of students will benefit from additional tool inverted classroom offers. Regarding adult education, we can in general say that our offer is often directed at people who have dropped out of traditional schooling, or who need to scale up their basic skills and important key competence to start at an ordinary school career. These groups will surely benefit from the more personalized guidance inverted classroom offers.
