COURSE DELIVERY FORMAT Traditional, F2F Classroom No class time is replaced. Expectation - the classroom is the primary place for learning Flipped Classroom No class time is replaced. Some class activities are converted into independent study; done at home. The expectation is to prepare and use class time to reflect and practice what you learned in independent study. Hybrid Classroom Some class time is replace by asynchronous learning Expectation is to master content and come to class prepared to move on with new content. Fully Online Classroom All class time is replace by asynchronous learning Expectation – Students don’t have to come to class.

Challenges of traditional classroom Students learn at different paces Limited concept engagement: Not enough time for deeper conversations about important topic

Basic principals of flipped classroom: What is traditionally done in classroom can be done at home. What is done at home can be done in classroom for deeper learning In-class time is used for higher-order thinking skills and application to complex problems. It may include collaborative learning, case-based learning, peer instruction and problem sets. Create active learning experiences for students where the instructor coaches and guides them.
