Contra el Che y la revolución cubana

Abstract

For centuries the established pedagogy for teaching in academia has been the lecture, in which an expert in a given subject speaks from a pulpit while a collection of students listens and takes notes. In recent decades, however, advances in technology have allowed educators to rethink the way in which they deliver course content. One approach that has been given attention is that of the flipped classroom, in which lectures are delivered outside of the class through video recording, and the class session is dedicated to more interactive activities. This chapter provides a rationale for this approach to learning, provides guidance in the development of pre-recorded lectures, and introduces a novel approach to the classroom sessions using audience response software.
