Episode 008: Flipping (off) the Classroom. Daniel and Rob talk about a new trend in academia: flipped teaching. As they discuss if the strategy really works, they reach the conclusion that it might not even matter. Higher Ed seems to want to bundle and unbundle courses that can be delivered online and to the masses, with apparently little consideration for the content creators and providers, i.e. the faculty. What does this all mean and how do contingent faculty fit into this? More importantly, Daniel and Rob discuss the need for a sponsor. (disclaimer: all views expressed are, of course, our own)
