A flipped classroom is an instructional strategy and a type of blended learning,which aims to increase student engagement and learning by having pupils complete readings at home and work on live problem-solving during class time. This pedagogical style moves activities,including those that may have traditionally been considered homework,into the classroom. With a flipped classroom,students watch online lectures,collaborate in online discussions,or carry out research at home,while actively engaging concepts in the classroom,with a mentor's guidance.
