Flipping Learning!

Abstract

Recently, there has been considerable interest in deploying the concept of the Flipped Classroom within higher education - a blended mode of learning which typically deploys online resources to provide more focused learning opportunities for learners at home, with lecture-time re-oriented to facilitate discussion and collaborative learning approaches. Much has been written about the success of particular online social media technologies such as wikis, podcasts and blogging sites in supporting open, distributed and situated learning, within active eco-learning systems such as Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) and online communities of learning in higher education. This chapter presents a meta level review of emerging and emergent challenges of integrating online resources to flip the learning in higher education. The recommendations call for the reorientation of prevailing learner, educator and institutional cultures and contexts so that learner centred, autonomous, flexible learning experiences can be facilitated when flipping learning within higher education.

“…Logistics is another challenge in the form of limited resources and time constraints as flipped learning consume more time Yacout & Abou-Shosha, 2016). Technology challenge also reported in the literature as the technical support www.psychologyandeducation.net playing crucial role in enabling or limiting the importance of flipped learning (Wells & Holland, 2015). Length of the videos and time required for students to master the learning materials is another challenge as flipped learning required sufficient technical support to facilitate delivery contents.…”

“…Although there are clear benefits of blended and flipped learning, such as more flexibility for students and more student engagement, there are also many challenges, such as student expectations that these modes of learning mean less work for them, the lack of students' self-responsibility for their learning, and the increased time commitment for teachers (Partridge et al, 2011). The many institutional, pedagogical, and personal challenges to design and run successful flipped classrooms (see Wells & Holland, 2016) make the model very vulnerable to turn into a 'flop'. The success of the model depends, in our view, too much on presumed teacher and student ability to make flipped classrooms work consistently across the sector, not to forget the role of the institutions to provide all required technologies and flexible learning spaces.…”
