Flipped Classroom Model

1. Flipped Classroom Model Overview

Reading

According to the Christensen Institute, the Flipped Classroom model is “a course or subject in which students participate in online learning off-site in place of traditional homework and then attend the brick-and-mortar school for face-to-face, teacher-guided practice or projects. The primary delivery of content and instruction is online, which differentiates a Flipped Classroom from students who are merely doing homework practice online at night". It is a form of the Rotation model (for more on this see its corresponding module).

 

Focus questions:

  • What would be the benefits to the tutor and learners of using this model?
  • What would be the constraints or difficulties?
  • What professional development would I need to be able to implement this?
  • What support/development would my learners need?
