Objectives

• 'Flip the classroom' to maximize the collaborative impact of 'together time'

• Map learning objectives to the appropriate virtual classroom tools using a modern application of Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning

• Determine what content is best delivered in a live, virtual format

What is a Flipped Classroom?

The Flipped Classroom • Use classroom time to

lecture

• Provide knowledge

• Limited practice time

• Leaves learner “hanging”

• Use classroom time to practice

• Embed the knowledge

• Limited lecture

Benefits of the Flipped Classroom

• Gives facilitators more time to spend helping participants

• INCREASES interaction

• INCREASES personalized contact time

• Creates a collaborative learning environment

• Absent participants don't get left behind

• Content is permanently archived and available

Return on Investment (ROI)

• Learners apply lessons earlier in learning process

• Instructors become facilitators of learning
