Tips for Flipping
Make content engaging and/or interactive when possible - we
use videos, graphics, and practice quizzes with feedback
Get instructor buy-in - make it a conversation you have when
scheduling the F2F session
Make students accountable - find a way to have student scores
collected and available to both instructors and librarians
Cover the basics - leave the tricky concepts and hands-on
work for the classroom setting
Jump right in! Once you have them in the classroom, focus on
active learning, and avoid repeating the course content
number of students reached
Shift in modalities
Number of students completing the
Canvas course each semester

Results of Librarian Survey
I feel the students come to the
F2F session with a basic
understanding of library
resources and services due to
their participation in the
Canvas course.
Do you plan your F2F
instruction differently,
knowing students will have
completed the Canvas
course?
