Flipped Learning

The term ‘flipped learning’ is commonly defined as a pedagogical model in which the traditional lecture material and the homework elements are reversed. Flipped learning is an instructional strategy and a type of blended learning, which aims to increase student engagement and learning by having students complete readings on their home and work on live problem-solving during class time.

The model has been shown to work very well with the core aspects of learning activities used in flipped classrooms, such as activities conducted prior to face-to-face sessions, higher order learning during class time, active learning and peer instruction. Flipped Learning intentionally shifts instruction to a learner-centered model in which time in the classroom is used to explore topics in greater depth and create meaningful learning opportunities while students are initially introduced to new topics outside of the classroom.
