Developing black belts, via a community of practice for blended science and engineering learning and teaching at Unisa

Abstract

This paper outlines a pilot project to encourage Blending and Flipping of classes at UniSA by the implementation of a formal Community of Practice (COP) of scholars and peers in Science and Engineering. The project COP staff worked with academic staff to assist teachers to use online resources and active learning strategies to engage students and promote deep learning, engagement and problem solving whilst making greater use of all facets of learning technology.
