What is a Flipped Classroom?

A flipped classroom is designed to help instructors shift away from the role of lecturer, allowing traditional instructor-centered classrooms to transform into student-centered learning environments, where instructors can provide individual mentoring to each student.

This active learning model allows students to interact with primary source content outside of the classroom to develop strong knowledge foundations and dedicates valuable class time to:

• Resolving misconceptions through collaborative problem-solving activities
• Elevating knowledge into application-level tasks and skills practice
• Increasing student engagement and confidence
