ConfChem Conference on Flipped Classroom: Just-in-Time Teaching in Chemistry Courses with Moodle

In the Just-in-Time Teaching approach, a faculty member assigns readings to students before every class. After the students have done the daily reading, they access a short reading quiz using a course management system (e.g., Moodle). The faculty member uses student responses to the quiz in the preparation of the day’s class material and is able to tailor his or her explanations to target specific student questions or confusion. This paper describes the use of this approach to engage students in chemistry classes at Centre College. This communication summarizes one of the invited papers to the ConfChem online conference Flipped Classroom, held from May 9 to June 12, 2014, and hosted by the ACS DivCHED Committee on Computers in Chemical Education (CCCE).
