Since the course was given in a large audience, the teacher wanted to encourage student interaction and responsiveness, despite the large number of students. To do this, she introduced SpeakUp, a device that meets several objectives: to involve students who are less daring to speak in public, to check the comprehension of the readings done before the face-to-face session, and to carry out live polls during the course in order to energize it.
The readings proposed in the flipped classroom format are provided with a reading guide presenting the important points to pay particular attention to during the reading. The readings are discussed in groups of 3 or 4 students during the course. Only voluntary groups represented by a spokesperson share the object of their reflection.
At the end of some sessions, the teacher proposes a reflection in the form of a "one-minute paper". For one minute, students are invited to spontaneously write a short text in reaction to what has been presented. This could be, for example, a reply to the questions "What is the main point of today's lecture?", "What are the most important elements?" or "What was the most difficult point to grasp? Students formulate their answers on Padlet and get feedback from the teacher, who puts "+" on the most complete answers, validating the ideas developed on the Post-its. Students can use this as inspiration to check their own understanding of the course content.
Regarding the organization of the review session at the end of the course, the teacher replaced the wiki previously proposed to collect the students' questions by another Padlet. Each topic discussed during the course is represented by a column in which students can pin their question. This then allows the teacher to build the review session.
The evaluation of the course, in the form of essay questions, is done in an e-assessment format using the SEB (Safe Exam Browser).
