This paper offers an alternative approach to the traditional
flipped paradigm for the history classroom, an approach that
focuses on providing students with primary sources while
providing multiple opportunities for peer-to-peer and
student-to-instructor collaboration prior to the in-class
meeting via a hybrid or blended learning instructional format.
In this approach, the primary sources were directly related to
the course content being presented in the face-to-face
meeting. As such, they served as “raw data” for allowing
student engagement with the subject prior to class attendance
in the on-line forum thus requiring students to begin the
process of inquiry and collaboration.
