This session focuses on improving the creation of pre-work materials for flipped classroom sessions by introducing strategies and guidelines to enhance the learner's experience. Crafting effective pre-work materials can be challenging, particularly when balancing content volume, choosing the best delivery medium, and fitting materials into the available schedule. The session will start with presenters sharing insights and experiences from various institutions. Attendees will then engage in small group discussions to explore their own challenges and success stories. Each group will present key points from their discussions to the larger group. By the end, participants should be equipped to design impactful and well-balanced pre-work materials for flipped classrooms. This interactive approach aims to provide educators with practical tools and strategies to improve their sessions and create a more engaging and productive learning environment for their students.
