THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM

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 notion of a flipped classroom draws on such concepts as active learning, student engagement, hybrid course design, and course podcasting.

There is no single model for the flipped classroom the term is widely used to describe almost any class structure that provides rerecorded 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.
A growing number of higher education individual faculty have begun using the flipped model in their courses.
