ABSTRACT
Two cases of the flipped classroom approach, one undergraduate course and one a graduate course,
are used to demonstrate the different ways that flipping instruction can occur in both F2F and online
courses, thus, extending the notion of hybrid and flipped teaching decisions with F2F and virtual class-
rooms. Both cases are summarized in terms of instructional design decisions, the models of teaching
framework, and research conducted on the courses. Findings from research conducted on both courses
indicate that a flipped classroom approach can enhance the teaching of both F2F and online courses
as it provides instructors an opportunity to adapt instruction to meet the individual needs of students.
Recommendations, based on this course development work, are provided for undergraduate and gradu-
ate courses in terms of access, meaningful activities, and feedback.
INTRODUCTION
A flipped classroom teaching model promotes active learning in the classroom, provides more in-class
time for student-centered activities and cultivates confidence in students. Direct instruction is moved
from the classroom to online delivery usually through video, while classroom activity focuses on whole
class application of knowledge and skills and instructor attention to student needs. Benefits to the flipped
classroom approach have been cited as increased student achievement, increased student engagement,
and improved attitudes toward learning (Hamdan, et al, 2013).
