Flipped Classroom 101
A practical Erasmus+ course for teachers who want to design and implement effective flipped learning experiences that increase student engagement and classroom interaction.
Course Description
The Flipped Classroom model has transformed teaching and learning by moving direct instruction outside the classroom and dedicating valuable classroom time to active learning, collaboration, problem-solving, and deeper engagement. By shifting content delivery to pre-class activities and focusing classroom sessions on interaction and application, teachers can create more meaningful learning experiences while increasing student participation and responsibility.
This course is designed for teachers and educational professionals who want to understand, design, and implement effective flipped learning environments. Participants will explore the pedagogical foundations of flipped learning, examine successful implementation models, discover digital tools that support flipped instruction, and develop practical strategies for redesigning their own lessons and units.
Through hands-on workshops, collaborative design activities, digital content creation, classroom simulations, and peer-learning experiences, participants will gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to successfully transform traditional lessons into engaging flipped learning experiences.
Methodology
The course follows a highly practical and student-centred learning approach that combines flipped learning principles, blended learning, collaborative learning, digital content creation, peer learning, classroom simulations, reflective practice, instructional design workshops, and technology-enhanced learning. Participants will actively design, test, evaluate, and refine flipped learning experiences that can be directly implemented in their own classrooms.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the pedagogical foundations of flipped learning.
- Identify the advantages and challenges of implementing a flipped classroom.
- Design effective flipped learning experiences aligned with curriculum objectives.
- Create engaging pre-class learning materials and activities.
- Use digital tools and platforms to support flipped instruction.
- Increase student engagement through active learning strategies.
- Design meaningful in-class collaborative learning activities.
- Apply formative assessment techniques within flipped learning environments.
- Develop complete flipped lessons, units, and weekly learning sequences.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of flipped learning practices.
- Create an implementation plan for introducing flipped learning in their schools.
