Methods include instructor-prepared videos, online discussions, research on the internet, and text are the primary delivery mechanisms. The general rule of thumb is that each lesson should be somewhere between eight and twelve minutes.
Flipped classrooms redefine in-class activities. In-class lessons accompanying flipped classrooms may include activity learning or more traditional homework problems, among other practices, to engage learners in the content. Activities vary but may include: group discussions, working in teams, individual activities, and project-based learning. This types of active learning allows for highly differentiated instruction, more time can be spent in the workshop and in higher-order thinking skills such as problem identification, collaboration, design and problem-solving as learners tackle difficult problems, work in groups, research, and construct knowledge with the help of their instructor and peers.
An instructor’s interaction with learners in a flipped classroom can be more personalized and less didactic, and learners are actively involved in knowledge acquisition and construction as they participate in and evaluate their learning.
Thanks for coming in today.
