A Good Flipped Classroom Case 08 from COMP - Dr Peter NG

Abstract

This case study investigates the implementation of the flipped classroom model in the course "Legal Aspects, Professionalism and Ethics of Computing" (COMP3512), instructed by Dr. Ng Hiu Fung, Peter from the Department of Computing. It details the rationale and provides a structured overview of the implementation process. The study identifies key best practices, including the thoughtful design of the flipped model, the incorporation of diverse in-class learning activities, and the provision of dedicated support for students during self-directed learning weeks. While demonstrating the model's positive impact, the case also provides a critical examination of the challenges involved, particularly the difficulties of ensuring effective teaching in large classes and managing the spectrum of student opinions regarding this pedagogical shift.
