The foundation of the 'flipped classroom' model is a series of mobile lectures paired with formative assessments that students complete prior to coming to class. VoiceThread is a single, easy to use tool that masterfully delivers mobile content with voice, visuals, and video and invites students to participate in engagement assessment activities.
This model empowers an instructor to use class time on topics that matter to students. With passive listening taking place outside of class, students become active participants and engage in discussion, debate and critique to foster higher order thinking skills. The mobile lectures provide the flexibility to pause, rewind, and learn in a way that meets individuals needs. You'll be surprised to learn how students responded and the effects of the experiment on student satisfaction, success, and attrition rates.

I missed your presentation last week. Was it archived? I'd love to learn what you had to share. Please post a response here or e-mail me at Anny.Ewing@westtown.edu if there's any hope of catching a reprise.
Thanks!
