众所周知，在线教育正在蓬勃发展。你可以在一个大规模开放式在线课程(MOOC)上免费学到提供的所有科目，从“个位数加法”到“中国建筑史”，再到“飞行器空气动力学”等。任何人在任何地方，你只需连接互联网，就可享受在线课程提供的高品质教育，这给教师的“教”和学生的“学”带来深远影响。如同一切新兴事物，在线教育也备受争议，教育界面临瞬息万变的信息技术飞速发展的全面冲击，传统的“说教式”教学方法难以让所有学生长时间地集中注意力，而翻转课堂则提供了一个几乎受到所有人认同的成功模式。 美国高校对翻转课堂教学模式的普遍解读是：该模式是指在学校传统课堂里利用迅猛发展的现代互联网技术，借助专业团队来制作生动、活泼的多媒体教材及评价体系，旨在富有成效地提高教与学的效果。其显著特点是：教师在规定的课时里与学生有更多时间互动和进行个性化指导，而避免花费更多课时来讲授可以自学的基础课程。 翻转课堂的理念着重于信息化的“在校教育”，这种方式不同于信息化的远程在线教育：显著的差异是，翻转课堂加强了教师和学生们面对面的交流，而MOOC模式的“在线（远程）教育”教师和学生们的交流则比较疏远，其交流仅依赖于电脑软件的智能水平。当然，这些教学模式有着诸多利用信息化、网络优势的共同特点。 据我所知，在美国高等学校基础数学课堂的教学过程中，利用翻转课堂的教学模式日渐成熟而且范围越来越广；国内的翻转课堂教学模式还处于萌芽、探索状态，应用于翻转课堂的信息系统服务平台还基本上是空白。粗浅的感觉是，类似美国“MyLab&Matering（MyMathLab）”和“Webassign”这样强有力的“高等教育教科书出版数学商务服务平台”还没有出现和运营。 《纽约时报》2013年11月18日文章《将传统课堂翻转过来——纽约时报国际生活》报道了美国某些中学教育开始使用翻转课堂的理念，这篇文章在网上引起很大反响，来自世界各个国家的读者后续评论有很多。 我摘录一段来自韩国的评论文字： Flipped classroom method is wonderful. I believe this method can be a solution to serious educational problems in Korea, where I came from. Flipped classrooms increase the opportunity to receive better education without receive classes out of school. Since it is video taped, teachers would prepare more before giving a lecture. Students can watch several times and understand better. In addition since the students can take a lecture whenever and wherever they want, the efficiency of learning would increase. Because teachers have saved more time to use during class they can care more about each students. In so many ways flipped classroom is beneficial. I wish such methods are used in Korea as well. 翻转课堂的模式 对于翻转课堂这种教学模式，你有什么看法呢？为什么翻转课堂能够取得好的教学效果？  下面展示美国主流商务教育服务机构之一的“Webassign.net”于2014年3月提供的两个推广有关数学课翻转课堂的视频。这两个视频全方位、具体的展示了如何利用信息化手段，有效地结合翻转课堂模式，来提高教学效果。 可能有些地方的网络管制，打不开网址链接，为了方便起见，我通过截图的方式，制作了主要内容界面的ppt简要展示文件。 Flipping the Classroom in Upper Level Math with Enhanced WebAssign Facilitated by: Fran Hopf, University of South Florida Date Recorded: 03/06/2014 第一个视频的内容提要：Given the buzz, have you considered “flipping the classroom” for one of your credited math courses? If so, have you identified resources that could be used to support a successful implementation of your flipped classroom? In this presentation, Fran Hopf from the University of South Florida will discuss the benefits of flipping the classroom, and provide guidance on how it can be done. Using the seven principles of good teaching practices, Fran will provide examples of the various Enhanced WebAssign (EWA) tools that can be used to engage students in active learning. Fran will then highlight how the flipped classroom and EWA can positively impact students’ performance. Be sure to join the conversation and find out how you can flip your classroom with EWA! Flipping the Developmental Math Classroom Using Enhanced WebAssign Facilitated by: Mark Clark, Palomar College Date Recorded: 03/13/2014 第二个视频的内容提要：Flipping the classroom can allow you to make more time in your class for interactive and challenging activities with your students. In this session, we will focus on the features of Enhanced WebAssign that can help you make the most of your students out-of-classroom time. We will also discuss several activities that you can do in class to encourage great discussions with your students. |
