Innovation in Medical Education Faculty Development - An extended flipped classroom model (for workshops, symposia and single "live" encounter sessions)

Innovations in extended guided learning for faculty development 

- "or how (and why) to encourage, support and facilitate participants to undertake preparation and homework 'before' attending live sessions", and "create tangible, measurable outcomes - both qualitative and quantitative"

by Poh-Sun Goh

The aim of this short paper is to explore and describe the pedagogy, design and delivery of an “extended flipped classroom model in Medical Education (MedEd) and Faculty Development (FacDev)". The idea is to explore available and cost-effective platforms and processes to support an extended “Flipped Classroom” format, requiring 1 to 2 weeks of engagement with digital content and at least one (or two) 250-to-500-word reflection(s) on pre-reading BEFORE attending an online or physical live workshop. The course Faculty will engage with participants to provide a customised and personalised workshop experience by dynamic modification of online pre reading and live content. This will be through both a customised website and online discussion forum.  


This process is intermediate step on journey to develop basic AI system to facilitate FacDev.

"the x10 additional effort, and time required from faculty to produce and deliver this proposed "new" adaptive, customised, teaching and learning paradigm goes toward creating, and curating (with attribution, citation and if necessary permission) content, and customised learning paths for both current, and future workshops, symposia, and educational sessions, especially if all the digital content and digital learning paths are indexed, hyperlinked (HTML) and accessible (open access best - "fee" or "free" for access to learning paths and digital customised "learning trails", and access to "live teaching/interactive discussions/and access to faculty")


Operational rollout or Business case proposal - for resourcing, and to make process sustainable, i.e. to not rely on "volunteered" time:

Created and curated hyperlinked (HTML) online digital content in granular form - OPEN access

Digital learning paths and trails (customised by HI, AI, HI-AI blend) - "FEE" of "FREE" access

(HI=human intelligence, access to faculty, AI=artificial intelligence)
