Flipped learning is an approach to the design and instruction of
classes through which, with appropriate guidance, students gain
their first exposure to new concepts and material prior to class,
thus freeing up time during class for the activities where students
typically need the most help, such as applications of the basic
material and engaging in deeper discussions and creative work with
it. While flipped learning has generated a great deal of
excitement, given the evidence demonstrating its potential to
transform students' learning, engagement and metacognitive skills,
there has up to now been no comprehensive guide to using this
teaching approach in higher education. Robert Talbert, who has
close to a decade's experience using flipped learning for majors in
his discipline, in general education courses, in large and small
sections, as well as online courses - and is a frequent workshop
presenter and speaker on the topic - offers faculty a practical,
step-by-step, "how-to" to this powerful teaching method. He
addresses readers who want to explore this approach to teaching,
those who have recently embarked on it, as well as experienced
practitioners, balancing an account of research on flipped learning
and its theoretical bases, with course design concepts to guide
them set up courses to use flipped learning effectively, tips and
case studies of actual classes across various disciplines, and
practical considerations such as obtaining buy-in from students,
and getting students to do the pre-class activities. This book is
for anyone seeking ways to get students to better learn the content
of their course, take more responsibility for their work, become
more self-regulated as learners, work harder and smarter during
class time, and engage positively with course material. As a
teaching method, flipped learning becomes demonstrably more
powerful when adopted across departments. It is an idea that offers
the promise of transforming teaching in higher education.
