Re-introducing the flipped approach at an institutional level

Abstract

Flipped learning is a pedagogical model that has gained prominence in recent years; it redefines traditional classroom dynamics by shifting direct instruction outside the classroom. This transformation facilitates collaborative and higher-order activities during class time, empowering students to take ownership of their learning journeys and fostering a more interactive educational environment. However, challenges persist in conventional implementations, including student engagement with pre-class materials, high workloads for educators, and inadequate personalised support. This paper presents the approaches an institutional-level initiative has taken to tackle these challenges, highlighting how integrating advanced tools, such as Generative AI (GenAI), contributes to innovative solutions.
