Abstract
The paper will discuss some of the benefits and challenges of using a flipped class format that is also hybrid. In a hybrid course, we use both traditional face-to-face and online learning activities. In a traditional face-to-face course, class time is spent on lecture. The flipped classroom model reverses the typical lecture and homework elements of a course. In class, little time is spent on lecture. Students are able to view online videos, lecture notes and PowerPoints before coming to class so that class time can be devoted to applying course concepts through small group discussion, exercises and course projects. Research has shown that flipping the classroom leads to higher student engagement and perceptions of learning. We will review possible measures for assessing learning and involvement in the flipped classroom. Finally, we will discuss our experience with flipping the classroom and what we have found in regards to these variables.
