5. ‘Screencasting versus Lecture
capture’?
A screencast is a recording of the evolving
image on the screen during a presentation
synchronised with the speaker’s audio
narration.
We use Camtasia Studio but other
solutions are available.
Total lecture capture requires intelligent
camerawork…

10. Addressing some of drawbacks of
Screencasts: Vignettes
We use the term
‘vignette’ to refer
to a short segment
of a screencast,
covering a critical
concept, which
may be augmented
by an interactive
component
introduced during
the editing
process.
11. Student comments on Faculty
Authored Vignettes
“Staff vignettes are great revision tools
because they are recorded well and the
information is clear and concise!”
“Good revision tool because if you haven't
completely understood something in the
lecture or when revising then you can go to
that place in the vignette and listen to the
explanation again!”
“All lecturers should do it”
“Would be more effective if lectures were
recorded as vignettes that are only 5
minutes long”
14. Evaluation quotes
“Thought about information
in a different way when
preparing interactive
questions”
“You can add more to existing
presentation which is good”
“Made you go over material
you might have forgotten”
“Had lecture notes and
additional material
(narration)”
“Highlights key areas”
“No experience made
preparation difficult”
“Students don’t have a lot
of time to do it. Takes
longer than actual
powerpoint”
“Need more Camtasia
experience/easier
software”
“Very good revision tool if
a lot of effort is put into
producing it”
“Quality may differ and
affect revision – can’t rely
on them”
19. Our model of lecture flipping
Students are strongly encouraged to watch a screencast
recording of the (previous year’s) lecture the flipped
lecture is replacing.
They attend the timetabled teaching slot and are
engaged in as interactive and as ‘challenging’ a session
as the ‘lecturer’ can muster using every audience
participation device at their disposal.

29. Which are genuine student evaluation comments?
1. A lot of the descriptive chemistry was very dry and essentially boring. It is
hard to teach this kind of material but the 'flipped lectures' seemed to
combat this.
2. I think the 'flipped' lectures run by Dr. Lancaster were a really good idea and
I felt more engaged in the module.
3. I appreciated Dr Lancaster's efforts to make the lectures interesting and
engaging in a modern way. The 'flipped' lectures were very successful.
4. I really enjoyed the flipped lectures and find that revising that material is
much easier.
5. The flipped-lectures are a definite step in the right direction, away from
archaic lectures with little or no mental stimulus, towards a more
interactive learning experience that maximises learning outcome!
6. They were good fun as it was nice to have interaction with the lecture as
opposed to just being talked at, it was also nice having knowledge of what
you were talking about as we had already gone through the material!
7. I think the flipped lectures were a really good idea because it was a more
interactive way to engage students into learning, rather than the repetitive
routine of having to listen to the lecturer work through a PowerPoint
presentation for an hour.

34. Satisfaction
I really really loved the
interactive lectures, they made
me more engaged and I believe
I learnt more in this style of
teaching.
The Screencasts are essential to
go through before the lectures,
but this is a good thing.
I found the prerecorded screen
casts/quiz style lectures
actually very helpful, they
made you actually think about
the lecture material while it
was being taught instead of
leaving it all to revision time…
Did not enjoy his method of
teaching, having to watch
screencasts in our own time
and then doing questions in
the lecture was not helpful
to me.
…too much reliance on
understanding material…
…would have preferred less
of the pre-lecture
screencasts and and more
of this material being
taught in the lectures
rather than the 'big scale
tutorial' type set up.

41. Student Sourcing Questions?
Be open to student suggestions
Encourage students to submit questions
for use within flipped sessions
Use Peerwise to structure, screen and
select questions in the sweet spot for
peer instruction
Seek answers from students and even
draft new questions ‘on the hoof’

45. Conclusions
Teaching doesn’t exist and facilitating learning is hard.
Ask what you are adding by expecting students to attend.
Can you reduce your content sufficiently to allow enough
interaction?
Can you ever have enough interaction?
If you can’t then flip or CUT.
Start small but commit fully.
Question everything, especially the questions.
Try Peer Instruction
Seek (possible) answers from the floor.
Relinquish as much control as possible and enjoy the ride.

48. More than anecdotal evidence
Scott Freeman, Sarah L. Eddy, Miles McDonough,
Michelle K. Smith, Nnadozie Okoroafor, Hannah Jordt,
and Mary Pat Wenderoth Active learning increases
student performance in science, engineering, and
mathematics Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences 2014, 111, 8410–8415.
Active learning disproportionately benefits students
likely to fail.
Average difference reported was +6%.
Inexperienced academics practising active learning
pedagogies are more effective than experienced
colleagues delivering classic (passive) lectures.
