This document outlines a proposed flipped classroom model for developing universities. It begins with an introduction explaining how technology has changed learning and the benefits of active learning and blended learning. It then defines key terms like blended learning, flipped classrooms, and active learning. The document proposes a flipped classroom approach where students learn content online before class and apply it during class activities and discussions. Some challenges of implementing this model are that it requires more student responsibility, changes to how instructors teach, and financial investment. However, the conclusion states that a flipped model could encourage more active, engaged learning anywhere and improve students' skills while enhancing learning in large classes.

Aim of the Study
Create a flipped classroom model by
integrating lectures, tutorials and online
learning offerings to facilitate active learning
and enhance student engagement in large
lecture-based classes.

Introduction
Acquiring knowledge became location- and time- independent,
and role of instructors and students has changed with the
technology
Active learning increases student experiences and outcomes
Students use technologies in and out of the classroom,
therefore supporting active learning with internet technologies
should not be a big challenge
In North Cyprus, especially first year students attend lectures in
large classes
Blended learning= best of classroom instruction + best of online
delivery + using time in physical classrooms for peer-to-peer
collaboration and teacher-student interaction.

Blended/Hybrid Learning and
Flipped/Inverted Classrooms
According to Margulieux et al. (2014)
Blended and Hybrid terms used in the same concept
Hybrid courses consistently describe instructional location,
blended courses consistently describe delivery medium
Flipped and Inverted used in the same concept
Flipped and inverted courses consistently describe
institutional location and instruction type.

Flipped Classroom
Johnson (2012) and Carpenter and Pease (2012)
described flipped classroom as;
one model of a blended classroom is the flipped
classroom, in which students access the curricular
content outside of class and then use class time to
discuss, apply, and clarify the content.

Active Learning
"anything that involves students in doing
things and thinking about the things they are
doing
Students fail less and get higher grades when
instructors use active learning methods in the
classroom
Introducing activity into lectures can significantly
improve recall of information
Applying active learning methods becomes a
challenge when the class size is large.

Issues on Blended Learning
Benefits
Improves the efficiency of classroom space
Increases student retention and student engagement
Reduces on-campus traffic and the need for parking spaces
Save time and travel which contributes to cost savings
Challenges
Requires a degree of self-motivation and independent learning
capabilities
Takes longer to prepare and administer than their traditional
courses
Need for specialists who can advise and assist

Challenges
Increased student responsibility
Instructors need to reconsider what they teach, how they teach and
how they assess learning, and how students are best encouraged to
learn
Financial investment and more facilitators are required
University must encourage instructors to develop flipped classrooms
Curriculum review process is required to ensure there is academic
and departmental support
Flipped classroom model should be implemented with caution to not
demotivate students for future offerings

Conclusion
Student-centred approach with more engagement and
interaction
Encourages students to learn out of the classroom at anytime
and anywhere with their own pace
More students will be able to take high-demand courses
Instructors will be aware of who is missing classes and will be
able to approach students who may be struggling
Students develop skills in communication, team building,
collaborative problem solving and critical thinking skills.
Faculty members will be encouraged to think more creatively
about teaching and learning
Systematic focus on transforming the learning experience of
students in large enrolment classes
