Flipping the Classroom, Panel Discussion

The flipped classroom is a teaching model in which students study traditional lecture material outside of class and instructors use class time to guide activities traditionally assigned as homework.  Flipping the classroom allows instructors to repurpose class time  for student questions about lecture content, hands-on application of knowledge, and interaction with classmates around course material. A large body of research has confirmed that flipped classrooms can improve student learning, and as WSU Vice Provost Erica Austin noted during a October 2013 panel discussion, the flipped approach increases the likelihood that students will stay in college.
