The future of the flipped classroom
The flipped classroom shows promise.
Now what? We can wait for a few years while teachers plug along producing their own homemade videos and see if the flipped-teaching movement really has staying power, or we can buckle down and get serious abouttesting this idea.
If the latter, we need to start developing cases that include preclass videos.
An obvious place to launch this effort would be courses in general biology or anatomy and
physiology in which there are a large number of faculty using cases.
If we were to include videos along with the cases, more teachers would presumably
be able to solve the problem of coverage and go on to use more realworld problems in the classroom.
