The Flipped Lecture.

The drive to flip teaching is a reaction to the limitations of the traditional lecture, which may be efficient at addressing many students but is ineffective at engaging and teaching those students. The term 'flipped lecture' describes the process of requiring students to prepare for a timetabled contact hour through directed but independent study in advance. Consequently the academic is freed from the constraints of having to work through the content and can use a variety of technology-facilitated strategies to maximise engagement, probe understanding and ensure students are able to apply the knowledge effectively.
