What it Is Not• An online course

• A replacement of the traditional teacher by using video

• Students spending class time staring at a computer screen

• Students working alone in isolation

Is• A reverse of what is being done as

homework and what is being done in class.

• Online content is viewed at home, leaving class time for hands on activities and personal instruction.

• Demonstration and Application Stage- Some type of assessment that can be measured.

Important Things to Remember

Clearly explain the purpose of the reverse instruction to students. Stress the importance of the lectures, students need to understand that they

cannot “zone out” and while watching videos or listening to lectures. They should complete some sort of notes outline and write down questions that they may have.

Hold the students accountable. Check for lecture notes and give credit. This will help ensure that the students are actually viewing the lecture.

BEWARE OF TECHNICAL PROBLEMS!! Technology is not perfect. Sometimes things do not work the way we want them to. Always have a back-up plan such as loading your lectures to a jump-drive or burning them to a CD. This is also useful for those students who do not have internet at home.

Use a centralized source for distributing content. This will eliminate confusion and allow for updates and improvement's

Plan to use class time productively, you will have more time to complete hands on activities.
