Hui, A, 2014, Flipped classrooms: rethinking times and spaces of learning – This short paper was written for the second module of the Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (Curriculum Design and Development) at Lancaster University. The paper presents a critical survey of the vast body of literature on ‘flipped classrooms’, arguing that despite the variety within this approach it provides an important call to reconsider how learning is organized both spatially and temporally. Though the majority of the paper is written in a familiar academic style, it ends with a few personal comments as the module was aimed at drawing connections between pedagogical literature and personal practice.

My teaching philosophy – This short statement of my teaching philosophy was first written in 2009 and has been updated a few times since.

As part of my undergraduate teaching, I have also developed handouts discussing issues related to rhetoric and critical thinking. While the documents below haven’t been updated in some time and are incomplete without the in-class discussions that accompanied them, I include them here because I have benefited from the circulation of teaching ideas and tidbits and seek to contribute to it when possible.
