The Centre of Medical Education announces the following training event especially designed for Clinical Faculty as part of the Erasmus Mobility Exchange Programme.

The Deconstructed Lecture, The 21st Century Lecture & Flipping Classrooms

Friday,  29 March 2019 | 10:00-11:00 | Grey Amphitheatre | Millennium Building |University of Nicosia

It is a challenge to use traditional didactic teaching to cover the expanding fields of medical science in fixed blocks of time. Educationalists stress the importance of experiential learning and student-centred learning, which need to be active and participatory (for example, with peer-peer learning).

The ultimate active lecture is the flipped lecture or flipped classroom. This will often involve delivering the core lecture digitally (either as a screen cast MP4 or as a video of the formal lecture) and then using lecture hall time entirely for active learning via discussion, exercises and problem solving.
