Using Canvas to Support the Flipped Classroom
Why Use the Flipped Classroom Model
ENCE 424 – Project Management Communications
• Class meets once a week for two-and-half hours• Usually 100 students in the class• Not enough time for all of the students to give
individual presentations in order to apply and sharpen their communication skills.
• I wanted to increase the number of opportunities for students to practice communication skills
The Course Redesign
• Divided class into three shifts of 30 to 35 students
• Lectures moved online (“Reading Notes”)• Online weekly discussions
(Reflection/Prime)• Four individual speeches• In-class small group discussions or
activities
Structuring the Course
Reading Notes
Online Discussions
In-Class Exercises
Individual Speech
Speed Grader
Lessons Learned• More chances for students to practice
communication skills both through individual speeches and in-class meetings
• More evidence that students are completing and comprehending the readings
• More enthusiasm for the class as evidenced by engagement in the in-class meetings and the online discussions
• Better class attendance as students can attend a different shift when needed
• Measurable improvement in students’ communication skills
