A flipped classroom is an instructional model in which learners meet new content outside class, usually through videos or readings, and then use class time for applying it through exercises, projects, questions and discussion. It reverses the traditional pattern of lecture in class and homework at home.
Why it matters
It moves the passive part, listening, to individual pace where learners can pause and rewatch, and puts the instructor beside students when they practice and get stuck. It depends on learners actually completing the preparation, so short checks and clear expectations are important. It is one form of blended learning, and the preparation materials are often hosted in an LMS.
Example
A programming course:
- At home: a 12-minute video on loops and a 5-question quiz.
- In class: students solve three problems in pairs while the instructor circulates.
- Quiz results show which concept to revisit at the start of class.
Without the quiz, the instructor cannot tell who prepared.
Common mistakes
- Assigning long lecture videos; shorter segments are easier to finish.
- Repeating the lecture in class for students who skipped the preparation.
- Ignoring learners without a quiet space or reliable internet at home.
