A quality, 4-month, online, guided learning journey
The course is relevant to teachers globally; accredited in NSW.
This 16-week online course caters for high school mathematics teachers who want to create, then implement a flipped or blended unit of work. (Refer to the course prerequisites below).
Flipped learning / blended learning allows students to access ‘teaching segments’ in their own time thereby freeing up class time for collaboration and exploration. However, this is not necessarily about students ‘watching lectures at home’. Rather, the Flipped-mastery model is encouraged where teachers create comprehensive, student-centred, online units of work for students to access both during and after lessons. As the title suggests, participants will create a flipped/blended unit of work trial the unit with students and report on their implementation experience.
Additional skills taught:
Sourcing videos, creating instructional (screencast) videos and delivering content online.
Technology:
The course recommends various software but will cater for a range of technologies. Examples of how to create formative assessment and feedback opportunities using blended, online units are provided. The course caters for computer-based technologies as well as iPads, and Tablet-PCs.
Course eLearning pre-requisites:
Participants need to be competent with technology i.e. be able to manage multiple programs and windows simultaneously, readily adapt, learn and troubleshoot new software. Participants do not need to be advanced users of technology, rather, competent users.

Testimonials
THIS is how online courses should be run. Having detailed, timely, individualised feedback from the course convenor at each step of the course was what gave this course value. The philosophy of 'just having a go' was a strong message and gave me the confidence to try things I might otherwise have put off.
Rob Alexander, The King's School, 'Flipped-Maths' course, March 2014
Undertake the course as a TEAM
