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
 Ethical Issues
+ A Flipped Classroom Approach
 After the
class
 Anytime/An
ywhere
 In the
class
 Before
the class
Students study
online materials
Students
participate in
discussions
and activities
Students
check their
understanding
and learning
Students
communicate
online with
peers/instructor
+
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

Thank you
