Flipping Information Studies: Increasing PBL Efficacy through the Integration of Online Video Lectures

This project aims to examine the benefits of using online video lectures for flipped-classroom teaching in Problem-Based Learning (PBL). To achieve this, we propose a pilot project with online video lectures in the Information Studies Master’s degree at AAU-CPH that investigates how best to incorporate video lectures and transforming existing courses around them. Our findings are expected to benefit all study programs at AAU. The pilot project consists of two phases: (1) capturing, editing, and providing existing lectures on video; and (2) investigating how to flip existing courses to take advantage of these lectures within the PBL paradigm.
