Flipped Classroom Model

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?
