Flipped Classroom

The flipped classroom is a blended-learning model that inverts the traditional sequence. Learners first encounter new material on their own — usually through videos, readings or interactive modules delivered via an LMS — and then use class or live-session time for active work such as discussion, problem-solving, projects and personalised support. The rationale is that lower-order learning (absorbing information) can happen independently, freeing valuable group time for higher-order activities where a facilitator adds the most value. Flipping requires good self-paced content and a degree of learner accountability to ensure pre-work is done, but when executed well it boosts engagement, enables differentiated support for learners at different levels, and makes contact time far more interactive than a one-way lecture ever could be.
