I agree. I also feel the same way about a lot of screencasts too.

Having been “forced” to listen to a few flipped lessons, I find myself wanting to fast forward through the lesson, and wishing I could simply read the material. As a learner, I find it slow and a bit boring. I prefer live discussion and watching the speaker perform (with support) much more interesting.

[...] quarter baked idea. When I wrote suggesting that in looking at ideas such as a flipped classroom, why weren’t we seeing more flipping of professional conference formats? Why cannot we do this for conferences? All of that content stuff that we fill up the agenda with- [...]

HighEdWeb is another great example of the right kind of conference. Before and after the conference they hold half-day, hands-on workshops. Then, during the conference itself, you get about 8 hours of traditional presentations and about 8-10 hours of socializing, discussing and partying each day.

We also try to follow a somewhat unique model for edUI, offering hands-on workshops and traditional presentations, but choosing speakers carefully to engage lively discussion throughout the presentations.

It probably does, Nancy, but hey I am just guessing. SXSW does (form my experience there 4 years ago) provide ample room outside of the scheduled session time.

And frankly, for the most part, and we do this, you can just flip your own conference experience.

I also wonder about size and scale. It is incredibly easy to flip things for smaller groups. For gatherings in the thousands like SXSW (which in my mind has grown larger than perhaps its ability to accomodate and design for that number) it may be a different-but-related set of challenges.

So size… does it matter?

Couldn’t agree more! We’re running two flipped conferences in June so hopefully others will follow. But then we’re experts in creating deep learning experiences so it would be rude if we offered a shallow event like the usual!
