Flipping Your Classroom:
Why Bother and How To Do It
R. Eric Landrum, PhD
Department of Psychology
WHAT IS “FLIPPING” YOUR
COURSE?
The Flipped Classroom is NOT…
•
•
•
•
a synonym for online videos
about replacing teachers with videos
an online course
students working in the class without
structure
• students working in isolation
Bergman, Overmyer, and Wilie (2011)
The Flipped Classroom IS…
• a method to increase interaction with students
• a classroom where the teacher is not the ‘sage on
the stage’ but the ‘guide on the side’
• a blending of direct instruction and constructivist
learning
• a classroom where students who are sometimes
absent don’t get left behind
• a class where content is archived
• a class where students are engaged in their
learning
Bergman, Overmyer, and Wilie (2011)

BACKWARD COURSE
DESIGN (WHY BOTHER?)
Backward Design:
Learning Outcomes  Assessment  Learning Activities
• Natural inclination is to
“figure out” how to teach
the course after learning
objectives are developed
• Hence the label “backward
design” for placing
assessment “out of order”

Ensures that course activities and assessment are
aligned with intended LO’s
