Flipped Classroom: Inverting or flipping a class is a blended learning approach that intentionally moves lectures, content and asynchronous activities into an online and out-of-class learning environment. Instructors can use face-to-face class time for active learning methods that increase student engagement, deepen understanding of concepts and advance mastery of skills. A successful flipped classroom follows the following principles:

  1. Provide opportunity for students to gain first exposure prior to class
  2. Provide an incentive for students to prepare for class 
  3. Provide a mechanism to assess student understanding
  4. Provide clear connection between in-class and out-of-class activities 
  5. Provide clearly defined and well-structured flipped classroom activities
  6. Provide adequate time for students to carry out their assignments
  7. Provide facilitation and guidance that supports a learning community
  8. Provide prompt and adaptive feedback on group and project work
  9. Provide technologies familiar and easy to access
