Tiansfoimation iequiies a paiauigm shift in the way instiuctois' think about leaining anu instiuction. Theie aie
many ways to effectively tiansfoim a couise wheie the classioom becomes a place wheie stuuents actively leain
iathei than passively listen to lectuies. 0ne way to achieve a leaining-centeieu classioom is thiough "flipping" the
classioom. The Flippeu classioom mouel switches the lectuie anu homewoik elements of a tiauitional classioom.
The lectuie poitions moves fiom insiue the classioom to outsiue the classioom anu is typically ueliveieu via online
lectuies although othei methous can be useu. Baving stuuents watch the lectuie aheau of class fiees up class time
to engage stuuents in activities iequiiing them to apply this knowleuge anu think in ways that mouels how expeits
in youi fielu think.

Iuentify wheie "flipping" the class makes the most sense foi youi couise. Theie aie a couple of ways of
appioaching this eithei by youi leaining outcomes oi by the couise units:

If you have leaining outcomes foi youi couise, then ask...
! Which of the couise leaining outcomes uo you notice stuuents stiuggling to apply theii knowleuge anu skills
at the uesiieu level.
! Which leaining outcomes woulu be bettei seiveu if you coulu pioviue leaining oppoitunities within the
classioom wheie stuuents actively apply theii knowleuge.

If all you have aie the units oi chapteis that you covei within youi couise, then ask...
! What poitions of this unit coulu pioviue stuuents with oppoitunities to apply the concepts within the
classioom.
!What topics within youi couise have you noticeu youi stuuents stiuggling to unueistanu in the past eithei on
assignments oi exams.
Design
0nce you have iuentifieu what poitions of youi class woulu benefit fiom being flippeu, then you aie ieauy to begin
uesigning what will happen insiue anu outsiue of the classioom. If you uon't have the time to tiansfoim youi
whole couise, then begin with a few key classes oi a unit. Begin with what you have (e.g. leaining activity that you
iush thiough uuiing class, youi existing lectuie anu sliues, etc.) anu as you gain expeiience then exploie anu
expanu what you uo insiue anu outsiue of class to help stuuents leain.

Evaluate
Aftei a flippeu class, ieflect on what woikeu well anu what mouifications you neeu to make.
Tiansfoiming a couise takes both time anu commitment, so think in teims of making aujustments iathei
than ieveiting back to lectuie-only foimat if things uon't go completely as planneu.

about bieaking it uown into smallei chunks. Leaining mouules can be cieateu within BlackBoaiu,
Canvas, oi Quest which allows you to inseit a seiies of lectuies anu embeu some assessment

! If you finu that stuuents aie watching the viueos, but they have lingeiing misunueistanuing ovei the
content, then you may want to cieate a follow up viueo that auuiesses this issue. Bepenuing on youi
class size, you may want to have a consistent mechanism foi stuuents to chime in on what is they
founu most confusing oi inteiesting about the lectuie via Twittei, Piazza, email, uoogle uocs, etc.
