component progresses through a sequence of in class time and

out of class time.

In a traditional lecture-based class, students are typically

assigned material to study before coming to class.

But then are expected to sit through a presentation that

often covers similar content.

And then assigned something to do for homework,

usually on their own.

In a flipped class, students have access to the

instructor's lectures ahead of time along with any other

background material that they need.

Which frees up face to face time to let students seek

clarification from instructors, collaborate with

peers, and practice applying concepts while getting

guidance and feedback directly from experts in the moment

when it can help the most.

This lets students leave class with an even greater

collection of resources and a clearer awareness of what they

need to focus on to close any gaps that

remain in their learning.
