3 FLIPPING THE CLASSROOM E-Learning Prepared by Mr L.A. Smidt (CIA,CRMA) - January 2016 Department of Auditing

LIMITATIONS OF TRADITIONAL LECTURING APPROACH Limited interaction between the students and lecturer Limited time to conduct practical class discussions whilst also trying to share the theory on the related topic at hand Information shared by the lecturer is only shared “once”, if the student did not grasp a concept or information shared it will be “lost” when they leave the lecturing hall Inconsistent/different lecturing styles between distant campuses (e.g. Mbombela – Garankuwa – Polokwane) Passive students Prepared by Mr L.A. Smidt (CIA,CRMA) - January

BENEFITS OF FLIPPING THE CLASSROOM (VIDEO RECORDINGS) Interactive learning Active participation by students Lecturer becomes a “facilitator” instead of just being a “lecturer” A standardised/consistent lecturing style for all students across all campuses Knowledge sharing of real-life examples between students during class as more “time” is now available Students can listen to the recorded lectures repeatedly (very good for revision purposes) Prepared by Mr L.A. Smidt (CIA,CRMA) - January

CONCERNS PRIOR TO IMPLEMENTING “FLIPPING THE CLASSROOM – VIDEO RECORDED LECTURES Class attendance will drop The physical contact sessions becomes obsolete Students will not participate or engage in group discussions during physical contact sessions Students reluctant to come to class as they are not “prepared” (i.e. they did not do their home work (listened to the recorded lecture prior to attending class) Will they have the technology to listen to the recordings? 6

Prepared by Mr L.A. Smidt (CIA,CRMA) - January CONTROLS TO MITIGATE THE CONCERNS Implement weekly/ bi-weekly Computer Based Tests (CBT) on My Tutor that carries a significant weight of predicate mark Also keep an attendance register in class Compile semester tests and exams based on the interactive class discussions (i.e. make it worth their while to attend) They must form study groups/work groups and they must present in class Make the recordings available on DVD and share the “You-tube links”

Prepared by Mr L.A. Smidt (CIA,CRMA) - January SUCCESSES ACHIEVED TO DATE My pass rate for the subject of ISV401T has increased from 2014 – 2015 (I implemented “flipping the classroom” in 2015). Students are more confident in answering the case study questions in exams and semester tests They have “fun” whilst learning Refer to “Statistics” slides (92 responses from Garankuwa and 13 responses from Mbombela campus for ISV401T)
