videos for their absent students in 2007,

Origin of the concept

10. 10
A definition
Flipped Learning is a pedagogical approach in
which direct instruction moves from the group
learning space to the individual learning space,
and the resulting group space is transformed
into a dynamic, interactive learning
environment where the educator guides
students as they apply concepts and engage
creatively in the subject matter.

14. Concept which allows teachers to share resources
with their pupils and to collaborate easily with
teachers from umpteen countries,
which gives the students an opportunity to study
at their pace, to study differently depending on
their learning styles (different types of resources
are offered),
which permits them to work in groups and help
each other, build their own learning and go further
than they would have in a traditional class.
