Abstract

This case study describes the ‘semi-flipped' redesign of an undergraduate Introductory Management Accounting module with a large cohort, using a newly refurbished ‘collaborative lecture theatre' at a large English research-intensive university. The chapter outlines the affordances of the collaborative lecture theatre and explains how these were used to promote the active application of theories and techniques in small groups during redesigned lecture sessions. The case considers the approach, design, practice, and space, and includes pedagogies readily transferable to other disciplines. The chapter considers the evaluation of the collaborative lecture theatre and the module redesign from staff and student perspectives. It identifies current challenges relating to the topic in the institutional context and concludes with recommendations and solutions for other institutions wishing to reconfigure spaces to promote active learning approaches.
