A Technology-Enabled Flipped Classroom Model

Abstract

This chapter presents the approach taken by LKCMedicine, NTU Singapore to re-imagine the learning and teaching paradigm. Building on the creative and skilful weaving of the strands of technology, curriculum and pedagogy, we create a unique DNA. Central to the development of the LKCMedicine, DNA is the replacement of a lecture-based curriculum via a rich and seamlessly integrated technology-enabled team-based learning (TBL) pedagogy. To that end, we present how our mobile technologies play a key role in ensuring that pedagogy remains at the forefront of the learner experience. The chapter outlines how to exploit mobile and tablet technologies to (i) dispense with face-to-face lectures, (ii) facilitate personalised learning, and (iii) actively engage students through extended communication opportunities.
