7-things-you-should-know-about-flipped-classrooms

A resource produced by EDUCAUSE.

Flipped classroom offers the opportunity to re-think how you deliver content to students, usually to take the content delivery side of teaching and learning out of the classroom, or lecture theatre, using pre-recorded lecture videos instead, and using the valuable face-to-face time for activities that build upon the content.  The student-centred approach of flipped classroom offers a way for students to take part in deeper learning, engaging with the application of theories and concepts from the content video, in a supported environment and approaching the material in their own time and at their own pace.
