The group’s intended purpose was to lower the activation barrier to helpinterested faculty try flipping, by sharing group knowledge and experiences. Accordingly, thelearning community was planned as a “working” community where members would learn fromeach other as they redesigned and flipped their respective course(s) and created online material.The specific goals of this learning community were to: 1) Explore pedagogy of a flippedclassroom. What do students do within and outside of a flipped class? 2) Explore technologiesavailable to support flipping a course. 3) Flip

Theassertion that many researchers make is that it is the responsibility of the entire university toassure quality student writing skills. 1,3,4Institutions that have a formalized program have grown over the last 20 years. 5 This growth hasnot been without challenges. To have a successful program institutional buy-in is critical, if it’snot supported from the top of the organization it is likely to fail. 8 Other factors that impact thesuccess of this type of program include:  Possible resistance from the institution’s English department, with concerns that English competency may be developed outside of the traditional Freshman English course. 9  The belief that writing skills are developed prior to attending college. 10  Increased

Much of Sophie’s experience could be understood ashighlighting gendered microaggressions or other gendered cultural norms, such as mansplaining orstereotyping women as incapable. These might be seen as small, isolated incidents (i.e., the definition ofmicroaggression) but they are memorable, build up over time to have a collective impact, and affect herparticipation on her team and in the course.

Notsurprisingly, the top reason listed (75% of respondents) for their friends not choosing engineeringas their field of study was their lack of confidence in their abilities, especially in courses requiringadvanced knowledge of mathematics. Past research shows that for female students, the key driversof subject choice are how good they are at the subject (94%), the subject syllabus (92%) andwhether the subject teacher is knowledgeable (91%) while 87% believe whether the subject teacheris fun is also important.
