A Guide to Flipped Learning: Bridging Research and Digital Practice

Teaching and Learning Academy |

Academic Practice Development

Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2025
Time: 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Location: Online
Format: Class
More details
This session explores the relationship between pedagogical research and digital implementation in flipped learning. It examines current studies on flipped approaches while considering their implications for student engagement and learning. Through practical examples, we investigate how educators might select and adapt digital tools, develop pre-class materials, and design in-class activities. The guide offers possible pathways for both those new to flipped learning and those looking to reflect on their current practice. Drawing from experiences across different disciplines, it presents various approaches to common challenges, alongside questions for consideration when implementing flipped learning in different contexts. By examining both successes and limitations, this session aims to support informed decision-making in flipped learning design.
