Flipped Learning

What is Flipped Learning?

Flipped learning is doing at home what is traditionally done in the classroom or lecture theatre (ie. giving information); and doing what is traditionally done at home (ie. questions on the information) in the classroom or lecture theatre. An advantage of this methodology is the amount of class time/lecture time freed up by not having to feed information to the pupils.

​

This ‘freed up’ time can be used for greater interaction between teacher/lecturer and pupils/students in order to help them ‘make sense’ of what they have read.

​

Advantages of Flipped Learning

• Allows learners to learn at their own pace
• Allows them to replay videos/reread notes
• They come to the lesson/lecture prepared
• They have their questions ready before the lesson/lecture
• They work on questions/assignments in the lesson/lecture hall so the teacher/lecturer is there to help them
• More learning results

Infrastructure for Flipped Learning

Flipped learning relies on the learners having access to their course and resources beforehand. Ideally at the start of the course.

The platform I use for delivering the course and resources is Twiducate.

Here is the link to my twiducate resources.

Advantages of Twiducate

• Can be accessed by any device with an internet connection
• Many teachers/lecturers can be assigned to a class
• Pupils/students can interact with their peers and staff so making learning fun
• Teachers/lecturers receive an email when a new post has been added
• Provides 24/7/365 learning
