FLORIA VOLYNSKAYA: Hello.
Welcome to this talk
on the new modalities
of instruction, blended
and flipped learning.
My name is Floria Volynskaya,
and I'm currently Director
of Instructional Design at Robert
H. Smith School of Business,
at the University of Maryland
in the United States.
I have over a decade of experience
utilizing educational technology
and in the design, development,
and delivery of courses.

In this talk, I will guide
you through the differences
between blended and
flipped teaching models,
and provide
easy-to-execute strategies
for how to implement
the best methods to enrich
active learning
in any classroom.
I will define instructional and
educational buzzwords you might
have recently heard,
as well as address
which asynchronous techniques
better facilitate student learning.
Whether in literature
or at conferences,
you have probably encountered
terms such as blended learning,
hybrid learning or hybrid course,
technology-mediated instruction,
web-enhanced instruction,
and mixed-mode instruction.
In fact, you might have
even heard these terms
being used interchangeably.
In this talk, I will introduce
and define blended instruction,
and describe the flipped learning
model, discuss the Six W's;
i.e. What, Who, When, Where, Why,
and the most important one, How,
as to how to best implement
these new modalities of teaching.

Let's begin with
a quick self-assessment.
Do not worry; no one's going
to be grading you on it.
You will need to know your
responses later in the talk.
Therefore, please write down
your responses to each question.
As you make a note of
these on a piece of paper,
please consider the extent
of your knowledge to each
of the statements posed.
For simplicity,
we will use a scale of 1 to 10,
with one being a novice
and ten being an expert.
Without further ado, I will read
these statements one at a time.
I'm confident defining
distance learning.
I'm confident defining
blended learning.
I'm familiar with hybrid teaching.
I know what is a flipped classroom.
I know how to effectively
present materials
in a face-to-face classroom
to facilitate active learning.
I know how to effectively present

method to improve

and retention of the core concepts.
I have experience

If your responses were
all ones, don't despair.
I will help you improve your score.
If, on the other hand,
you had all tens,
I hope I'm still able
to provide insights,
and that you will find
the forthcoming suggestions useful.
