The traditional method of lecture-based learning does not effectively utilize today’s technology and hinders class collaboration and active learning. Collaboration and active learning are critical skills necessary to compete in today's high tech workforce. Today’s higher education institutes would benefit from taking a fresh approach to the learning process and make changes to both the delivery and learning processes. One teaching method that has gained increasing popularity is the flipped classroom model. The flipped classroom model allows students to view class lectures and instruction before attending class. During class time students engage in active learning processes such as solving problems, collaboration and asking their professors questions.

Many of the current professors at colleges and universities lack the skills necessary to develop and facilitate classes using the flipped classroom model. The goal of this instruction is to equip university professors with the necessary skills to create and facilitate classes using a flipped classroom model. The professors will be able to install a flipped classroom. Within a six-month period professors will be able to record lectures, and upload course materials to the blackboard platform so students can access and view course instruction. Professors will also learn ways to utilize classroom time for collaborative learning and active discussion with their students, instead of using the time for synchronous lectures. This goal aligns with the vision of providing the best possible education experience for students and equipping them to succeed in a highly competitive workforce.
