The concept of the "flipped" classroom approach to instruction is amazingly simple; yet, the implementation takes significant forethought and planning - the better the planning, the better the learning. Unfortunately, flipping has become a buzzword, hyperbolized and caricaturized to the point that people are simply video taping lectures and having students watch them outside of class. Appropriate flipping involves leveraging faculty and student time and effort effectively in the pursuit of meaningful student learning. This workshop will focus on (a) the cognitive, social, and behavioral underpinnings of effective flipping; (b) the integration of a flipping approach into the design of effective instruction; (c) the construction of engaging activities outside of class; (d) the development and implementation of deep learning activities within the class; and (e) the flipping of assessments. My view is not that flipping is a panacea for all of higher education's ills, but rather, an effective instructional approach when designed, developed, and implemented thoughtfully. Please come and learn how to flip meaningfully!
