What is a Flipped Classroom? The flipped classroom is an instructional approach
in which the typical lecture and homework elements of a course are
reversed. Instructional content is delivered outside the classroom via video lectures, specified readings and focused coursework. This is done by the participants before the
class session. The in-class time is devoted to exercises, projects & discussions - activities that have traditionally been considered "homework".
What we hope to achieve with this approach is to make BIC Courses even more practical, grounded to ongoing real life events resulting in more confident & profitable trading & investing. There will be zero dilution of the material. As a matter of fact, it is likely to increase and more topics & things like FAQs will get added to every topic. Hopefully,
many of those who wanted to but could not attend BIC Courses due to
distance, location, time constraints, home responsibilities and the like
can now take advantage of the Flipped Classroom approach and attend BIC
Courses going forward. Especially
over the last 2 years (2014-16), I have noticed a clear increase in demand for
result (read: profit) oriented engagement AND the higher levels of
commitment that participants are having, I am looking forward to the
Flipped Classroom approach being more closely aligned to this greater
hunger for results. +91 93419 67573. So that you have fuller understanding of this transition from classroom only to flipped classroom model, its genesis and more, below is the full post that was sent out to BIC mailing list members in Dec 2016 ... Hi All, An Important Announcement: As we all prepare to welcome 2017, I am happy to announce some changes to BIC's Courses starting 2017. But first some background ... While the India Market Reviews (IMRs) have been online for quite a few years, we had not done any BIC courses online. In 2016, we finally took some small steps towards that. We did the Investing in Equity course fully online and then we did weekends 1 & 5 of the Equity - Next Step Course online. We also did almost all the sessions of the Mentorship Progarmme as live webinars. The feedback and experience for all the participants and myself on these sessions was a very happy one and way better than we / I had expected. There were many surprises:
One extremely important ingredient for the online approach to be feasible is
good stable high speed broadband. This is a must not only for watching
the HD videos but also for the live online webinars with live viewing of
ALL participants. Being able to see others' faces live during a live online session makes a huge difference to engagement and learning. This I believe has finally become feasible in 2016 as the telecom industry has finally been able to offer affordable & reliable 4G speeds. With the above encouraging &
positive experiences, we have decided that we shall adopt the Flipped
Classroom approach for all BIC Courses starting 2017. |
