Teaching and Learning Activities

(1) Flipped Classroom Presentation

This is a recorded interactive presentation, through which students are aided in


synthesizing their understanding of the assigned reading materials by providing a
logical framework and flow of discussion. Questions are also posed throughout the
presentation, giving the students opportunities to gauge their level of
understanding of the materials they read.

(2) Peer Discussion

Students are assigned to small groups. Using the (recorded) Conference and
Discussion features of Schoology, students are given opportunities to share their
thoughts and discuss their answers to the questions posed in the Flipped
Classroom Presentation. This fosters a community among like-minded learners
who motivate each other to learn together.

(3) Knowledge Portfolio

After the Peer Discussion, groups are required to submit a synthesis of their
discussion. The portfolio must show each member’s contribution to the discussion,
differences in opinions, resolution to the differences, among others. This portfolio
may aid the students as they take the Final Module Challenge.

(4) Messenger GC Open Conversation

Throughout the week, students may raise questions and clarifications in the
course’s official Messenger Group Chat. These may be responded to by anybody
who is also part of the group.
Module Assessment

The 3-part module assessment addresses both lower and higher order thinking
skills.
