Interactivity — A Key Element of Blended Learning with Flipped Classroom Approach

Abstract

Blended Learning (BL) with Flipped Classroom (FC) approach could be considered as very useful teaching and learning method for higher education, in particular for master's technical studies. There are different possible paths and e-learning tools available for teachers and students to organize this kind of courses, classes, lectures. This paper presents several case studies focused on the practical implementation and use of various types of interactivities both in the lectures and laboratory classes. The author describes development of ideas and process of activating and interactive collaboration of students in groups as well as implemented ideas for development of interactive educational video materials to be used by students in self-study. Moreover, a project-based and project-oriented learning approach is proposed and discussed to maintain a high level of activity and involvement of students in the teaching process with BL techniques. Finally, some experiences and general reflections are gathered, and the future works are briefly described as well.
