Flipped Learning

While some people often think of the flipped classroom as "lecture at home and homework at school", flipped learning is really an approach that allows teachers to implement more active learning in their classrooms. Flipping your class simply means that you have students read text outside of class, watch additional videos, or solve additional problems, but flipped learning takes learning to the next level. A common misconception is that the flipped classroom and flipped learning are on in the same.

A better way to describe flipped learning is one in which the direct instruction is moved from the group learning space to the individual learning space. The resulting group space (ie class time) is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter.

To engage students in flipped learning, educators must incorporate the four pillars of FLIP.
