Strength and Conditioning Flipped and Blended/Hybrid Class

Abstract

This proposal is centered on student success, accessibility, and job-readiness. It also functions as a "proof of concept" for Kinesiology. The specific proposed course is the MOST popular Kinesiology elective course, and needed for the new "Strength and Conditioning" Concentration. We typically offer 6 sections a semester, plus Intersession and Summer. Sections are always full, with full waiting lists. The redesign will enhance student job-readiness, reduce textbook, commute time and costs, and other costs, as well as provide continued access to lecture material. Students struggle in the course now because 1) they can't get enrolled and 2) the material is currently in a format that entails mostly pure lecture, with little activity or integration. The new approach will allow students to learn the material on their own (video green screen/video produced lectures), at the speed they desire, saving class time for activity integration and networking/rapport building with classmates and the faculty.
