An "ABC" for Effective Flipped Learning
Flipping the classroom is an idea whose time has come. Flipped learning promotes the kind of intellectual independence and self-motivation that real-world problems desperately need, and it's never been easier to implement a flipped classroom with the wealth of inexpensive and simple technology available to students and instructors. But effective flipped learning still requires a careful approach to maximize its effectiveness and improve student learning. In this talk we'll explore an "ABC" for flipped learning -- three major concepts that provide a sound basis for implementing an effective flipped classroom that you and your students will love.
