OVERVIEW
In the last decades, educators have shifted from a focus on teaching to a focus on the learners themselves, some methodologies have strived to enable the learners to be more self-reliant. Fringe methodologies sometimes strike us as odd or difficult to attain. For most instructors, shifting from teacher led atmospheres to learner centeredness may imply changing paradigms, if we add technology, it might seem impossible.
The aim of this session is to unravel the mysteries behind the Flipped Classroom, and to identify how simple steps may allow significant changes.
