As a teacher, you may be familiar with \"flipping the classroom\": flipping the traditional way of teaching. Students go through explanations at home and work during class on tasks that require critical thinking and are often given precisely as homework. Did you know that this method is also ideally suited for online education? In this blog, we'll tell you about the benefits of flipping the online classroom and how you can apply it in your own classes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is flipping the classroom?<\/b><\/h4>\n

Flipping the classroom is a form of <\/span>blended learning<\/span><\/a> based on the <\/span>taxonomy of Bloom<\/span><\/a>. This looks like this. The instruction a teacher normally gives during class is now given to students in advance, often through videos. This gives students a chance to absorb, understand and memorize the material at their own pace - these are the <\/span>lower<\/span><\/i> Bloom's thinking skills. The class time is then used for <\/span>higher<\/span><\/i> thinking skills, such as problem-solving and creative thinking, that students practice through interaction with each other and with help from the instructor present.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why flipping the online classroom?<\/b><\/h4>\n

This method is very applicable in online education: especially in online classes, as a teacher you don't want to be talking all the time. With shorter concentration spans and distractions a mouse click away, it can be difficult to create engagement among students - so it's important to activate your class and get them working! During the online class, students can work together on the material they have worked through on their own time, with you as the instructor able to support them if they run into problems applying higher thinking skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

Preparing materials\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n

If you want to start flipped classroom, it is essential to have the right materials that students can use to prepare for class. These can be videos from YouTube or educational platforms, but you can also make your own videos. This is not difficult! All you need is a camera or program that allows you to record yourself or your computer screen. This way you can make the instructions visual and possibly show how it's done right away. You can then post the video online (for free) and share it with your students or upload it in your own learning environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Online group work<\/b><\/h4>\n

How do you get students to work in groups in the online classroom? In most video calling programs, you can easily break participants up into partial sessions or breakout rooms - read how to do that here in <\/span>Webex<\/span>, <\/span>MS Teams<\/span> and <\/span>Zoom<\/span>. With online group work, there are a few things important to keep in mind:<\/span><\/p>\n
