c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Optimizing Your Teaching Load AbstractThe teaching responsibilities of faculty members are worked out with their respectivedepartments and/or colleges. Teaching loads are usually fixed, but individual facultymay have options on how to meet that load. They may choose more or fewer differentcourses, multiple sections of an individual course, a combination of undergraduate andgraduate classes, or a combination of face-to-face and distance-education classes. Onthe assumption that new faculty can learn from the experience of others, a survey wasadministered to faculty from across the country, primarily in engineering

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Resources for Flipping Classes AbstractAs flipped classes become more popular, opportunities for sharing resources andtechniques arise. Instructors can learn from the experience of others, and they can alsoborrow materials and approaches that others have used. But the design space is verylarge, and simple web searches usually fail to retrieve the most relevant materials. Thispaper aims to serve as a guide to what is currently available in three areas: sites devotedto the pedagogy of “flipping,” sources for reusable materials such as videos, andtechniques other than lecturing that can be used during a class
