Presentation Description

A flipped classroom turns the traditional teaching approach upside down. Instead of a lecture in class and hands-on work at home, instructors are assigning material to be reviewed ahead of time, allowing for problem-solving activities during class time. Librarians can use this same approach to more fully engage students in “one-shot” or embedded library instruction. This poster session will address ways librarians can use the flipped classroom approach to teach information literacy in a learning-centered manner.
