Description

Introduces the Flex 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?

2. Case Studies

Video

Revisit the MixMap that you created in the Understanding Blended Learning session. If you missed that activity make sure you do it before you do this activity.

Instructions:

  • Looking at the activities you’ve already identified, make a list of those which could work using the Flipped Classroom model
  • List any opportunities you can think for students to interact online – this could be using forums or external tools like Facebook, OneDrive or Google Docs (however, it needs to be for a reason they can’t communicate in class, such as it is a homework activity)
  • List any resources you would need – you don’t need to be too specific yet, just identify whether you would need weblinks, document templates, pdf documents or videos etc.

4. Session Plan Activity

Activity

Complete the following activity. It should bring a lot of your planning together in a format that we’re all familiar with – a lesson plan (or in this case it has been called a “session plan”).

 

Instructions:

  • Download the documents from the links below
  • Have a look at the Flipped Classroom Session Plan Exemplar, taking note of how the information is set out 
  • Using a lesson that you would usually teach face-to-face, redesign it into a Flipped Classroom session using the Session Plan Template – remember that the online work comes first and should prepare students for the face-to-face class
  • If you feel comfortable sharing, please upload it to the Session Plan Forum, along with a description of how your Flipped Classroom session differs from your usual face-to-face lesson
