David Freidenreich | Flipped Classroom

Associate Professor of Jewish Studies, David Freidenreich, saw that his students weren’t coming to class with a command of the material that he expected.  Despite assigning readings, students still didn’t understand the material.  As a result, class time was spent lecturing and explaining, rather than engaging with the content in a way he desired.  Through Colby’s FIT program, David implemented a flipped classroom model, where he would record video lectures for students to watch in advance of class.  Learn more about the Faculty Instructional Technology (FIT) Fellowship.
