Today, we are wrapping up our filming for RE 102 & TH 101. Both of these papers will run in early 2017, with teachers from across the Christchurch Diocese experiencing a Flipped & Blended learning approach of TCI papers.
In this Flipped/ Blended approach teachers are able to watch content as often as they like before they are comfortable to apply their knowledge via forums or reflections. When they have face to face time with their presenter they already have a base line understanding of content and their time can be spent discussing, applying, analyzing and evaluating content.
To explain the shift the Christchurch Education Office has made take a look at the image of the inverted diamond of Blooms Taxonomy that Flipped & Blended learning approaches create:
Instead of students being passive receptors of information they first need to remember and understand their knowledge before face to face time which involves active learning opportunities. There is also an increase in autonomy over when the student can complete their learning and also how quickly they move through content with it being asynchronous through the Moodle Platform.

We know that this format will provide teachers with a greater understanding of their paper and provide them with opportunities to apply this new understanding to their Religious Education class.
