In this episode, Sally Keith, an ecologist from the Lancaster Environment Centre, talks about how she transformed her delivery of teaching from a traditional, lecture-based approach by flipping her teaching through creating and using digital chalk talks.
Sally also talks about the theories that informed her new approach to teaching. The result: more engaged learning and teaching.Theories that informed digital chalk talk.
Part of the inspiration for this transformation comes from how Khan Academy develops and delivers its teaching.
Below is a paper by Sally that provides an in-depth look into the background of flipping and the approaches that she took to inform her practice:
Some of the theories that informing this approach
- Cognitive theory of multimedia learning
- Cognitive overload
- Cognitive affective theory of learning with media
