Description

In the usual lecture format, a large number of people come together and spend most of the time in reception mode. The teacher is at the front presenting the material. In mathematical lectures where proofs are presented, it is almost impossible to find the right pace for all listeners to follow. After the lecture, everyone goes home and questions arise while revising the material. The concept of the flipped lecture or inverted classroom starts right here, in order to use the time spent in class more meaningfully and effectively. With the help of videos and other learning materials, the material is worked on and understood in small learning groups or alone before the actual event, so that the questions that arise can then be discussed and gaps in understanding can be closed during the time spent in class. This concept is didactically recognised. [1]
In this project, the course ‘Complexity of Algorithms’, which is part of the compulsory curriculum of the computer science and technical computer science degree programmes at Leibniz Universität Hannover, was taught using this method. Around 300 students took part in the course. Traditionally, the module consisted of lecture and exercise units. In the summer semester of 2019, a pilot phase was conducted with old lecture recordings in the course ‘Complexity of Algorithms’. The accompanying evaluation using the Teaching Analysis Poll (TAP), two teaching visits by didacticians and the teaching evaluation showed a highly positive acceptance by the students due to the improvement of the learning situation. As part of this project, videos and learning materials were prepared in a didactically meaningful way and parts of the course were optimised.
