Flipping the classroom

Posted on February 12, 2016 by Félienne Hermans TU Delft

In previous posts I have written about my motivation for and experiences while making a MOOC. One of the reasons to make a MOOC of course is also to then use this material in traditional, on-campus education. That is what I did this year in my university course IN4400, I “flipped my classroom”. Too lazy to read? There is a video of me explaining this too.

What is flipping?

Flipping the classroom is where you flip the activities traditionally done at home with those done in the classroom. So homework goes from home to the class, while listening to the teacher goes from the class to home. Because teachers cannot visit all students at home, this lecturing is typically done with videos. But if you have given your students stuff to read and discussed that in class, you have been flipping a bit already.

I have three tips I found useful while flipping, but I think they might be useful for other contexts too.
