Editor's Notes
When we think about traditional teaching. The teacher is the sage on the stage “transmitting” new knowledge to the students. The students sit back and passively “learn”.
Many educators have been doing this type of teaching from time to time, Lage, Platt and Treglia coined the term in 2000.
Textbook readingsOutside Readings: Case Studies, current events, journal articles, primary/secondary sourcesPresentations: PowerPoint, PreziImages*Anything dealing with new content.
Conceptually flipped classroom is the same as inverted classroom. The major difference is that the new content is video-based.
Flipped/inverted classroom aligns with the constructivist view and approach to teaching and learning.-Learning is an active process of constructing knowledge rather than acquiring knowledge-Instruction is to support that knowledge construction process
Why should you consider inverting or flipping?-#1 reason, it engages the students in the learning process-Works for all subject matters-Works for all levels of courses from developmental to honors
To facilitate an inverted/flipped classroom is not easy. Like gears pieces have to fit and work together. So the faculty member would have to prepare the resources and design the activities. The students need to come to class prepared and ready to engage in the activities.
So there are two fundamental shifts.The instructor goes from transmitting knowledge to facilitated knowledge construction.The students becomes active participants in their learning process.
There is NO MORE hiding (for the students)!The students need to have read, viewed the new content prior to attending class as they are expected to be engaged and actively contributing throughout the class session.

Compare and contrast the devices of Greek, Medieval, and Japanese theater. How does the physical stage and relation of the audience influence drama? What can we detect about the culture and society that theses forms are designed for? Who is the audience and why are these forms an important part of culture.
Benefit or Burden: How Much is Too Much?case study: a patient who suffers from Alzheimer’s and end-stage renal disease, but she has no living will. How would you work with the patient’s next of kin if they decided to keep her on life support? What if they decide to terminate care? Explain your decisions and actions with current theories and practices.

Entitlements debate:medicare, social security, welfareSurvey student’s position & ask them to prepare to argue the opposite side.
Expect resistance from both faculty members and students as it is a “change” in the experience of teaching and learning for many of them.We’ve been working around that resistance by working with faculty members who are being trained to teach hybrid courses. Hybrid courses provides an ideal learning environment to incorporate flipped/inverted classroom. The instructors can also set the expectation of engagement from the students in classes at the beginning of the semester.
