Variation in Time, Place, Pace: Blended Learning and Flipped Classrooms

Flipped learning is a type of blended learning model. Blended learning (as defined by the Innosight Institute) refers to "a formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through online delivery of content and instruction [with] some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace AND at least in part at a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home" (Staker & Horn, 2012, p. 3). According to the Flipped Learning Network, flipped learning is "a pedagogical approach in which direct instruction moves from the group learning space to the individual learning space, and the resulting group space is transformed into a dynamic, interactive learning environment where the educator guides students as they apply concepts and engage creatively in the subject matter" (Flipped Learning Network, 2014). This report discusses the following topics within the flipped model of blended learning: (1) benefits of the flipped model; (2) timeline for implementation; (3) practical issues; (4) flipping DOs and DON'Ts; and (5) iteration as the key to success.
