Exploring Flipped Learning in the Work Environment

Are you considering flipped learning in your training plan?  Interested but just don’t know what it is or how you can use it?  Join us for an eye-opening first-hand look at the flipped learning experience through the eyes of your trainees. In this engaging discussion and demonstration, we will:

• Explore what a flipped environment is…and what it is not.
• Compare the features of the different learning objects that can be used outside the training room.
• Discuss options for in-training learning time

By investigating a learning environment similar to what your trainees experience, you will learn about the role of learning management systems, learning object organization, and tracking features to help you identify individual needs.  We will conclude with an analysis of the successes and failures of early attempts at flipped learning in both K-12 and higher education and how this might apply to your work environment.
