1. So what is a flipped classroom anyway?
In the higher education context:
• A form of blended learning in which students access content online (e.g. short videos, podcasts and readings), and interact with peers and faculty in asynchronous discussion activities
• This frees up time previously allocated to lectures for more
learner-centric, interactive F2F (face-to-face) sessions
2. Why flip in the first place?
Learners are disengaged

MOOCs … coming to a university near you
“The world of MOOCs is creating a competition that will force every professor to improve his or her pedagogy or face an online competitor … When outstanding becomes so easily available, average is over.”
Thomas L. Friedman
3. What do you have to do to be able to flip?
Creator of learning resources
Example Pinterest board
Example Scoop.it topic
A curator is an information chemist. He or she mixes atoms together in a way to build an info-molecule.
Then adds value to that molecule
Robert Scoble

Imagine if attending a class in person on campus occurred because a student wanted to rather than because they had to …
Instead of attending lectures delivered by lecturers in lecture theatres …
… how would it be if students went to problem solving workshops, facilitated by academics?
5. How to avoid flopping
Tip # 1:
• Consider starting with an open Q&A session (15-20 mins) on the module currently being studied
• Don’t make cosmetic changes to give the appearance of flipping
• Resist the urge to lecture
• Pull up material curated/ created to explain/ clarify
Tip # 2:
Tip # 3:
• Develop authentic learning activities around unstructured problems that invite multiple responses
• Open-ended problems can be asynchronous online discussions or in-class activities
7508GBS: Managing Sustainable Enterprise
• Identify three organisations and the progress (or otherwise) that they have made in becoming more sustainable enterprises
• Which is ‘good’, which is ‘bad’, and which is plain ‘ugly’?
• Put together a 15-minute presentation, summarising how you would go about managing these organisations.
Tip # 4:
• Some students will come to class and expect you to do all the work
• Also expect students to come unprepared
• Peer pressure will ensure they pull their weight in future
Tip # 5: Facilitate, prompt, probe
Flipping ≠ bludging
Tip # 6:
• Ensure assessment activities are aligned with the pedagogy
• Multi-choice tests at the end of semester are inconsistent with a problem-based learning approach
Tip # 7:
• You are the SME but new content comes thick and fast
• Encourage learners to share materials they find
• Acting as co-contributors to the curriculum increases engagement
Tip # 8: • Learning is creation, not
consumption.
• Knowledge is not something a learner absorbs, but something a learner creates
Tip # 9: • Rethink timetabling of
classes
• High quality online content may mean fewer F2F classes
• F2F classes may be blocks of time once a month, for example
Tip # 10: Flipping can take some time to perfect
participatory
flexible
authentic
Multi-modal in format: catering to different learning styles and different life styles
Learner centric: student as consumer and producer of knowledge
Assessment of learning grounded in reality: outcome driven learning; learning that lasts beyond the test
