This document discusses the use of video and flipped classroom pedagogy at Universitat Politecnica de Valencia. It notes that UPV has produced over 18,000 small video recordings since 2007 using various recording studios. A key technology is the Paella Player, an HTML5 video player designed for lecture capture. UPV has also launched over 40 MOOCs and a flipped classroom project involving around 150 teachers testing the approach in about 90 courses. Initial results found students engaged more and felt better prepared when video was used with flipped teaching methods compared to traditional lectures. The university aims to continue expanding these efforts and improving data collection on academic outcomes.
