Active learning is an evidence-based approach to learning that engages learners through activities and discussion, as opposed to more passive forms of teaching such as lectures. The flipped classroom is one approach to active learning—it “flips” the usual classroom dynamic by spending the in-class time on application and discussion rather than information dissemination. This course will show you how to structure a flipped classroom experience and give you ideas for how you can make your teaching more interactive.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Explain the benefits of active learning.
2. Recognize the basic structure of a flipped classroom.
3. Identify common challenges and solutions to implementing flipped classrooms.
