1) I have chosen the topic “Introduction to Design of Steel Columns” in the subject of

Design of Steel Structures. Based on the application of various loads, there are many
types in steel columns. So, I want to clarify the different steel columns design with
the help of flipped class for better understanding of students.

2) LO: at the end of the course the students able to design the various types of structural
steel columns. (Apply)

3) The learning material for this topic is in the form of video lecture. The reason for
video lecture is the students can play and listen the video again and again. In this
video I’ll explain the concepts and design methods with the help of Screen – o – matic
online resource. The PPT will support me to create the video. The PPT contains types
of steel columns, reason for various types, design philosophy for columns and design
procedure for different types of columns as per IS code. The details of IS code usage
will be explained clearly in the video. Additionally the soft copy of IS code and steel
table will be sent to the students for future reference while listening the video lecture.
Suitable text and reference books soft copy also attached with IS code for reference of
the students where they want to clarify the doubts. In that learning material I have
included diagrammatic representation of structural elements in column for better
understanding as well I included the image for practical application that
corresponding type of column. The guidance of using IS code and Steel stable is
explained separately in that video. Because this is first time our civil engineering
students are using IS codes for steel design. Students will refer my edmodo page to
download IS codes and link for books.

4) Before sharing the learning material, Ill shares one video about how to use the video
lecture for that concept. In this video there are four slides, the first slide is explaining
about the concepts included in that video lecture, especially the particular concepts
need to be concentrate more. Second slide is about utilization of video lecture along
with IS code and Steel table, for choosing the appropriate data from the IS code to the
specific design. Third slide having, how and where the text and references books to
be used during lecture. The fourth slide is about advantages of using video lecture for
self-study that is how it can be utilized for effective learning continuously. In this
script video will be created with the help of same Screen – O – Matic concept. In this
video lecture creation method I can create my own video with audio without anyone
support. While recording the video I can adjust the screen that to be recorded as well
as resume the video also. This is open online resource to create the video lecture.
This is two to three minutes script video to explain about, how to use the lecture
materials. I will share this video through whatsApp group.

5) To implement flipped class activity I am going to make the group among the students
with heterogeneous concept. The reason for this concept of team forming is the
average learners can able to learn and bring the self-motivation when learning by
doing with fast learners. As well as the fast learners will provide platform to average
learners to perform when the activity is on stage. Based on their previous test result
ill frame this group. The team leader will be assigned to guide and support the team
in all stages. I will make sure the even spreading of student’s category in each team.

6) In the previous class before sharing the lecture video I’ll explain clear rules and
instructions about the flipped class activity. They are team wise weightage of marks
for their group performance, quiz questions and their marks for each team, design
problem at the time of flipped class with duration, conclusion of their own topic
within the lecture, peer review with other teams. After splitting into the team the quiz
question will be asked for each team from IS code with clause for particular design
step. Marks will be awarded else the question will be jumped to next team once the
time limit crossed. One design problem will be given to solve in each team with
specified duration. The solution for their problem will be shared with other teams as
well as the doubts will be clarified in peer review session. To evaluate their complete
understanding of concepts the final round in of activity in the class room is
concluding the concept in each team by any one of the team member. This too
considered for evaluation. With the help of above mentioned activities the students
will be in active inside the class room. Few students will not concentrate lecture
video and activity, so the process of grading the activity will bring the motivation and
interest toward lecture.

7) The feedback for the flipped class room from the students I’ll collect either in the
form of Google form or printed feedback form. The feedback form contains two
different categories of questions to evaluate the flipped class room. The first set of
questions is objective type with the common choices like strong, moderate and less.
The questions in the first set is related to interaction of staff with all students,
recommendation of flipped class for further sessions, students communication with
each other, students engagement in learning, understanding of concepts than
traditional class room, interest towards learning new concepts, interest to watch video
lecture before the session, self-learning from the video lecture with study materials,
regular utilization of materials for test etc., The second set of feedback form contains
descriptive type answers for the questions like advantages and disadvantages of
flipped class room, highlight about flipped class room that bringing self-motivation,
suggestion to improve the flipped class room and other general comments to the
conduction of effective flipped class rooms in future sessions etc., The submitted for
will be useful for me to analyse and improve the future flipped classes. By analysing
the each questions in feedback will rectify and reframe the effective session for the
next class.
