A sample of my teaching plan to one of the subjects I taught is shown in table below. The course is ‘Knowledge Management Systems – TEB1133’ for Bachelor of Information Systems students. The table below is presenting the flipped classroom material that was prepared for the course for the entire semester for full-flipped classroom execution. The plan includes pre, during and post class activities and materials.
Some sample of my flipped video (pre-class learning):
