The flipped classroom is a pedagogical model in
which the typical lecture and homework elements of a course are reversed. Short
video lectures are viewed by students at home before the class session, while
in-class time is devoted to exercises, projects, or discussions. The video
lecture is often seen as the key ingredient in the flipped approach, such
lectures being either created by the teachers and posted online or selected
from an online repository.
The flipped
classroom is widely used to describe almost any class structure that provides
pre-recorded lectures followed by in-class exercises. In one common model,
students might view multiple lectures of five to seven minutes each. Online
quizzes or activities can be interspersed to test what students have learned. Immediate
quiz feedback and the ability to rerun lecture segments may help clarify points
of confusion. Teachers might lead in-classdiscussions
or turn the classroom into a studio where students create, collaborate, and put
into practice what they learned from the lectures they view outside class.
