COURSE DELIVERY FORMAT
Traditional, F2F Classroom
• No class time is replaced.
• Expectation - the classroom is the
primary place for learning
Flipped Classroom
• No class time is replaced.
• Some class activities are converted
into independent study; done at
home.
• The expectation is to prepare and use
class time to reflect and practice what
you learned in independent study.
Hybrid Classroom
• Some class time is replace by
asynchronous learning
• Expectation is to master content and
come to class prepared to move on
with new content.
Fully Online Classroom
• All class time is replace by
asynchronous learning
• Expectation – Students don’t have
to come to class.
Challenges of
traditional classroom
• Students learn at different paces
• Limited concept engagement: Not
enough time for deeper conversations
about important topic
Basic principals of flipped classroom:
• What is traditionally done in classroom can be done at home.
• What is done at home can be done in classroom for deeper learning
• In-class time is used for higher-order thinking skills and application
to complex problems. It may include collaborative learning, casebased learning, peer instruction and problem sets.
• Create active learning experiences for students where the instructor
coaches and guides them.

It’s not all about me.
It’s about:
• What is best for students
• Embracing or at least
accepting change
• Staying current with
technology
Plan for flipping

• Set clear expectations and provide instructions
• Teach and revise to improve course
Be creative, use resources you have
