The Daily Bruin

The School of Physical Therapy invites the university community to hear Dr. Tim Flynn (PT, PhD), distinguished professor at Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions, as he lectures on “Turning the Traditional Classroom into a 21st Century Knowledge Exchange.” He will join us from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. today (Wednesday) in Hoover 105.

Synopsis
Let’s face it: Technology is changing the face of education from preschool through graduate school. Physical therapy education is no exception. Despite a body of evidence suggesting that the traditional lecture style instruction is lacking, it remains the predominant mode of information exchange.

In the last decade there has been a move toward the flipped classroom where students watch lectures at home at their pace and communicate with peers and faculty with online discussions. Face-to-face time with the faculty focuses on engaging problem solving and laboratory experiences.

This presentation will discuss how current best evidence lectures are produced and shared as homework assignments outside of class while sacred classroom time is reserved for collaborative work and hands-on learning activities. We will describe mechanisms to ensure learning is occurring and preliminary outcomes using this methodology.

Upon completion, attendees will be able to:

• Define blended learning
• Identify and discuss the six primary blended learning models
• Describe characteristics of successful online learners and teachers
• Describe the flipped classroom model
• Identify key technical components required to successfully implement the flipped classroom model in DPT education
• Examine the benefits, risks and challenges of this model

Dr. Flynn is board-certified in orthopaedic physical therapy, a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists, and a frequent research presenter at state, national and international meetings.

We have an exciting opportunity for you! LEAP Marketplace is a Senior Business Capstone start-up, and we are offering you an opportunity to make at least $15 an hour if you lend us your educational talents.

LEAP stands for Lessons, Educational Help, Advising and Preparatory. LEAP Marketplace will be a place where students K-12 can receive educational support for almost any subject from students at a local university or college. Right now we are recruiting qualified students to come on board as independent tutors.

The schedules for our tutors are dependent on their schedules and what the customer requests, so it’s very flexible! We are mainly looking for George Fox students who are science, English, math, history, or any of the core subject majors.

Also, we are looking for any music major, or anybody comfortable teaching an instrument they know really well to hop on board with us to be a music lesson instructor. Payment for this varies based on what you request.

However, we are considering bringing on board people with majors that are in less of a demand, which some people may eventually request help for (i.e. psychology, art, engineering).

If you would like to learn more about this opportunity and receive an application, please e-mail leaphumanresources@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you!
