Flipped learning / inverted learning / reversed learning

Last update : 15.12.2023

Definition

Instructional model in which the classical order of education or training is inverted. Instead of following a course with the teacher or trainer and then applying it individually (homework, online training, etc.), learners first study the topic outside the classroom (for instance viewing online resources) and then explore the topic in greater depth in the classroom with the teacher or trainer guiding learners as they apply related concepts.
