Flip the Classroom, but not onto its Head
Imagine you’re watching a movie. In this thriller, the protagonist is in a dark ally pursuing the bad guy. All seems quiet when out of the corner of your eye the killer come into view. He sneaks up on our hero, raises his weapon, and gets ready to strike. “LOOK OUT,” you scream, but no one can hear you. The film is not interactive; you know this, but you scream anyway. But what if it wasn’t a movie? What if you’re in a classroom, learning some complicated theory. You have questions, but the instructor can’t hear you. You, like our protagonist, are out of luck. That’s a terrible way to learn. It’s also what could happen when Flipped Classrooms are done wrong.
