Planning

The articles and resources included in this section support the planning and design for both the face-to-face environment and pre-class activities.

Classroom Activities

Guidelines of what to avoid doing when undertaking activities in a large class meeting. Much directly applicable to clickers but a useful checklist for people when considering how to carry out the various active engagement elements of their class.
Advice on how to keep a large group of students engaged in a classroom setting, with particular focus on the back of the class and dealing with situations of student questions and when chatter breaks out.
Advice on the moments in your traditional classroom that can be most effectively flipped. Answers questions about where flipped classroom elements can be integrated in the classroom.
Overview and resources related to team-based learning videos, and resources for TBL

Pre-class Activities

Practical advice for using pre-class reading assignments in conjunction with a reading quiz, to allow students initial and early exposure to material and content to be discussed in greater depth (focussing on remaining problems) at future class sessions.
Practical strategies for easing the transition to active learning approaches in the classroom.

Research

The articles included in this section focus on scholarship about the Flipped Classroom modality and pre-class activities.

This article highlights the advantages of flipped classrooms and discusses five reasons for doing a flip including increasing student engagement, strengthening team-based skills and offering personalized student guidance. The author states that the flipped model is enhanced with clickers from the companies i>clicker and Turning Technologies LLC.
  • Strayer, J. F. (2012). How learning in an inverted classroom influences cooperation, innovation and task orientation. Learning Environments Research, 15(2), 171-193.Ubc-elink.png
This article compares the learning environments of an inverted introductory statistics class with a traditional introductory statistics class at the same university. This mixed-methods research study used the College and University Classroom Environment Inventory, field notes, interviews and focus groups to investigate and compare the learning environments of these two classrooms. Findings show that the students in the inverted classroom were less satisfied with how the classroom structure oriented them to the learning tasks in the course, but they became more open to cooperative learning and innovative teaching methods. The author further discusses these findings in terms of how they contribute to the stability and connectedness of classroom learning communities.

In this article, the author explores how the traditional lecture/homework structure of the undergraduate statistic course was “flipped” so that the majority of basic knowledge acquisition moved out of the classroom, making room for interactive activities during class time. The described changes had a positive impact on students’ attitudes toward the class and instructor as well as on students’ performance in the class.
