Over the past few years, the traditional lecture teaching model has been completely turned on its head in favor of a trendy — and potentially transformational — new teaching strategy. Enter: the flipped classroom. This pedagogical strategy is an inversion of the common “lecture in the classroom, assign homework and group work for outside of class” setup.
