Helaine W. Marshall - SOFLA – Synchronous Online Flipped Learning Approach
Part of the LTSIG Fridays Webinar Series 2020.
Abstract: The Synchronous Online Flipped Learning Approach (SOFLA) closely replicates actual classroom teaching and provides dynamic, interactive, spaces both asynchronously and synchronously to create fertile spaces for learning. In this session, the presenter takes the group through the eight steps of the SOFLA Model: Synchronous Online Flipped Learning Approach (Marshall, 2017). These steps, which are presented for both teachers and professional developers, include the following: (1) Pre-Work; (2) Sign-in Activity; (3) Whole Group Application; (4) Breakout Group Activities; (5) Share-out Time; (6) Preview and Discovery; (7) Assignment/Follow-up; and (8) Reflections. Samples of actual student learning experiences are demonstrated and/or shared with participants. Participants are encouraged to rethink their approach to a lesson, project, or training that they are planning to deliver and to reflect on the session.
