Research What research organization or people developed a solution to this problem or need? What were their findings? Who were the lead thinkers and how did they convince a manufacturer to produce it? Development What problems were encountered in the process for the blended learning innovation? Who was the intended audience? Commercialization Describe the production, manufacturing, packaging, marketing, and distribution. Need What problem or need existed that gave rise to blended learning?
Need By the time students were leaving school, whether or not high school years were completed, they were not equipped with the necessary skills to contribute, compete, and survive in the global economy. Jobs were being outsourced to individuals in other countries because Americans did not possess the necessary skills needed. This takes a toll on our economy, which is also technology driven. Promoting high school completion as well as college and career readiness became an important challenge.
In 2002 The Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21) was founded by Ken Kay and Diny Goder- Dardis, with support from various organizations including the U.S. Department of Education. Organizations in the technology community that contributed to the founding of P21 include Dell Computer Corporation, AOL Time Warner Foundation, Apple Computer, Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Cable in the Classroom, SAP, Cisco Systems, Inc., and the National Education Association.

Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams started teaching Science at Woodland Park High School in They were faced with the problem of many students missing school due to sports or other activities and therefore struggled to catch up. In 2007 they posted their first lecture online and have used the flipped model since then. They later received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching. Bergmann and Sams shared their experiences with increased student interaction and parent responses to the flipped classroom model.

Development When Bergmann and Sams first used what they refer to as screencasting technology, it was intended for high school students. The practice of having students watch a video at home as a means of content delivery was altered by educators who chose to adopt the model. Teachers were using the model to re-teach, remediate, and as an instructional tool in the classroom. There are various forms of the model. The Khan Academy, which has received much attention with TED Talk, represents just one form of the model.

Commercialization P21 plays a major role in the marketing and distribution of the flipped classroom model. Since the Common Core Standards are being implemented in many states, educators are directed to incorporate tools and resources to meet the standards. Any program or device that can be used for screencasting content delivery would encompass the production, manufacturing, and packaging of the flipped classroom model. This would include social media, PowerPoint, and even smartphones.
