Teachers send students a link to video about the nextlesson. Students watch the video before class at a timemost convenient to them.

How the flipped classroom approach works (example):

Students can stop and repeat the video as many times asneeded to in order to grasp the lesson objectives.

Students take a short quiz after the video so they knowwhere to focus their attention. Teachers also receive thestudent’s answers so they know where best to assist.

The next day in class, teachers support those who needmore study. Other students are able to complete advancedexercises and take what they have learned to a new level.

More advanced students have opportunities to engage withtheir peers on a one-to-one basis.

The result is that students and teachers can now spend more class time ensuring that they are achieving targeted learning outcomes. Students can progress at their own pace.
