Description
The implementation of a fully flipped methodology in the University courses is extremely difficult. The main reasons for this are the workload for both students and teachers, and the needs for coordination in the different disciplines.
In this course we have made an approach using a MOOC that was elaborated as an introduction to Materials Science for non specialists. The different modules of the MOOC have been reordered to fit the main themes in the syllabus, and combined with complementary lectures on those topics non covered in the MOOC.
Since we are using our own videos, we fill the gap that the students could otherwise find, between the persons appearing in the videos and their own teachers. As the video is accessible anytime they can go on their own pace. The fact that the same person is in the classroom an in the video contributes to minimize the feeling that an extra work is being made, and has the advantage that doubts can be worked out in class, directly with the person acting in the video, with the same language and materials.
The MOOC takes eight weeks, and cover most of the program, then we have the rest of semester to solve problems, work on projects, etc…
A summary of the tasks and the way to combine them with the MOOC and the rest of the topics to be considered during a Materials Physics course in the Degree in Physics will be presented.
